Happy birthday Go! I'm currently working on a little side-project and I wanted to write (part of) it in Go. As a side-note, the last time I wrote Go was all the way back when I made a few small contributions to the http standard library, circa 2009. As soon as I set up my environment, my gears were already turning (coming from Python, TypeScript, Java, etc.): how should I structure things? Where should this live? What should be calling what, and where should things be passed from and into? And, like a breath of fresh air, I started remembering how Go works: it's a very simple, stupid language -- in the best possible way -- and it just works. You start writing code, and then you write more code. You write a function. And then you write another one. Slowly, your program gets bigger. Sometimes you need to split up functions. And that's it. No fiddling with project structure, with taxonomies, and with hierarchies. I forgot what it felt like to just sit down and write some code. I've gotten used to battling tooling, fighting with opinionated frameworks, and having a zillion ways of doing something -- stuck in an eternal analysis paralysis. I missed Go.
