I really appreciated the article. I feel the same way about Go as you do. No other programming language has made me feel this way. It's the most practical programming language I have used over the last 40 years.
- pa7ch 5y agoAgreed! Go has made a big difference for me personally, its simplicity and tooling design makes it easier for me to actually get wrapped up in in programming a solution instead if being paralyzed by the design and starting phase. Much respect for polyglot programmers and using the right tool for the job, but go personally clicks best for me. I prefer to focus on gaining a deeper understanding of writing effective and maintainable go for a variety of projects. So using go as my main language is actually really important for me. I'm thankful its possible to require that these days.
- publicola1990 5y agoHow does Rust compare in that regard? Will 3 year old non-trivial rust code build/run without issues?
- stouset 5y agoYes, Rust releases have (arguably) kept better backwards compatibility than Go releases have. There have been IIRC a few Go releases that broke code in practice despite it being considered a non-breaking change.
