Have any heavy C++ devs switched to go? What's the major advantage/compelling reason to switch? It seems to me that Go is more comparable to Python/Ruby and Java on the Web, but maybe I'm wrong.
- yareally 13y agoI'm not a heavy C++ developer and only use it to augment other languages when performance demands it, but not having to deal with memory management and the problems it can create when binding to another language is a nice benefit. The only drawback with Go though for my usage is when using on Android, since it has to be compiled statically when used with the NDK.
- ihsw 13y ago* No circular dependencies (big win here) * Package importing is easy and a first-class language structure * Fast compiles (related to no circular dependencies) One of the more controversial features is no inheritance -- only composition. It's an interesting break from vertical/horizontal inheritance schemes.
