> But Go doesn’t have a way to get the maximum of some ints in the standard library. So I’d have to implement the max function myself min and max functions are now in the standard library as of 1.21. >Myself, I think expert readability is more important than beginner friendliness. I think the opposite. beginner friendliness benefits both beginners and experts while expert readability only benefits experts. This is why I stopped using Rust. It hard to get started and even months into learning it and you finally feel productive you step into a new project and it feels like you are going backwards. I can hop into any Go project and feel productive right away.
