- DLA 5y agoWhat's the problem with Go? Many high-performance things are built in Go. https://awesome-go.com https://awesome-go.com
- pjmlp 5y agoExactly to prove to people like yourself that it is possible. IT industry is full of Matthews that need to be proven wrong for us to advance.
- ddlutz 5y agoIs "Matthew" some sort of IT version of "Karen"?
- pjmlp 5y agoI got the name in English wrong, it should have been Thomas. “You believe because you see me. Great blessings belong to the people who believe without seeing me!” (John 20:24-31 ) Bringing it into the IT context, there are the visionaries that believe something is possible no matter what, and then there are those that even with stuff running in front of them cannot move beyond "yes but...". Ironically, in the 80's in what concerns home computers and game programming, both C and C++ also belonged to the "yes but..." group.
- kelindar 5y agoHonestly, I enjoy programming in Go and been using it on a daily basis for the last few years. Most importantly, when it comes to performance it's often not the language that matters but how you structure your code. It's very much possible to build a terrible C++ program which thrashes memory and will be very slow. And I feel like Go is actually lacking those nice data-oriented libraries.
