Go is the new Scala.
- _ak 13y agoIt's more like the anti-Scala, because can read other people's code within a few hours instead of shrugging for 6 months because they just stumbled upon yet another language feature.
- mseepgood 13y agoGo has an almost diametrical design philosophy. The only commonalities are message passing and curly braces.
- programminggeek 13y agoPerhaps I wasn't clear enough. Go is the new hot language on HN. It's what startups are switching to and blogging about en masse. Before Go a bunch of shops switched from ruby and rails to scala for various reasons. Before scala companies switched from either php or something enterprisey like Java/C# to rails. Before that people switched from C++ to Java/C#. Before that C to C++. Before that ASM to C. Before that punchcards to ASM. Thus, in terms of the hype cycle, Go is the new Scala.
