It seems these articles appear every week now. This should be a solved problem - if you don’t like coding in Go then don’t code in Go. Simple. There is no point of writing a thirty page manifesto of everything you hate about Go. Put that effort into learning python, ruby, nodejs, or whatever floats your boat. If your tempted to write manifestos for those languages also then maybe consider a different line of work.
- skywhopper 6y agoThis article is not complaining about Go. It’s pointing out the gotchas, which every language has. IMO it reads like it was written by someone who likes Go quite a bit, or at least is as pragmatic about Go as Go is.
- cratermoon 6y agoMy favorite books about languages are the ones that point out where the language is ambiguous or otherwise has surprising, e.g C Traps and Pitfalls and Java Puzzlers: Traps, Pitfalls, and Corner Cases, . It would be great if there were programming languages with no surprises, but I don't think that it's possible. Every language has to compromise on some things in order to solve the problems it was designed for.
