Finally understanding the appeal of static typed languages after doing a project in Go using Goland. I always thought I loved the freedom of python and JavaScript (and I still do to some extent, you’ll have to take Django from my cold dead hands). But the power of static type becomes super clear when you’re using a great IDE. I can hit a hot key when hovering over any function and it’ll show me the docs and take me to the full page if I want. Hitting another hotkey it’ll auto fill parameter options. It’ll auto import the libraries I need. It’ll complain if I’m using the wrong type. It gives me so much more confidence that the code I’m writing will actually work. It’s slightly more of a pain to write, no doubt about that, but the payoff is huge. I was burnt by java in the past and can’t stand how every project seems to end up like this https://github.com/EnterpriseQualityCoding/FizzBuzzEnterpriseEdition https://github.com/EnterpriseQualityCoding/FizzBuzzEnterpris.... But Go has shown it doesn’t have to be like that.
