Almost none of this is about Go. 80% down they mention some basic stuff about GC, but nothing very specific about the Go GC. Then after that it is back to very basic language-agnostic optimization ideas.
I was hoping for more insights about Go specifically.
- Cthulhu_ 7y agoI've done a Go course a while ago; interestingly enough, at least the first day, it wasn't about Go at all. The trainer basically stated that if you know any curly braces language, you can write Go. And I think that's the point. The language doesn't get in your way, and it's not any specific language feature that will make your code go fast or slow - unless you abuse it, or use it when you don't need to. I mean if you're happy with C then by all means; Go isn't claiming to be faster than other languages, not this close to the metal. It's mainly aimed to take away some of the mental overhead you get with C and similar languages. And compile times.
