I am not fluent in either, and I'm not looking to change that, but I have read code in both. I feel the exact opposite way, and I'm not trying to start a war or anything, but I was wondering if you'd be open to talking about what things in Go you find hard to read (and what things in Ruby you find very easy to read). Or is this about libraries (are Go libraries providing lower-level APIs than Ruby ones?)? Or have you read/written a lot more code in Ruby than Go?
- hazz99 8y agoI agree - Go has issues, but they're not related to readability. Perhaps if you include "familiarity with the standard interfaces" (like using io.Reader) which is different to other languages, and took a while for me to get used to.
