The most appealing thing of Go to me is the good batteries including tooling. I don't use it much outside of little personal projects where I really don't want to deal with dependencies and want a small binary.
- arjie 1mo agoYeah, I prefer Rust as a language but the ecosystem and toolchain is risky. E.g. build time scripts from upstream is too risky these days and it’s commonly used. Go is a good stdlib and trivial build toolchain. You just cargo build and all your apes gone.
- theshrike79 1mo agoThis has been my choice for a while too, especially when I found out that you can embed a full-ass webapp in a single executable. Backend + web API + the actual web pages all contained in a single file. If you have sane defaults, deploying is literally just copying a single executable over.
