- ohCh6zos 5y agoThis hasn't been my experience. Go is incredibly difficult to read because all Go code looks the so similar, lacking intentionality or style, and it's so verbose that it takes a very long time to grasp what any given thing does in totality.
- kaba0 5y agoBut code you didn’t write yourself but still have to wade through is still harder to read and understand than code that was not required to be written due to a better abstraction.
- handrous 5y agoDepends entirely on how long ago I wrote it, though. Maybe it's a style thing, but I tend to have a lot more trouble with "WTF does this (leaky, inevitably) abstraction actually do and where does that actually happen?", when reading code, than with too much code.
