I never could stand the Ruby syntax and after a few days with Go I loved it. I would definitely recommend giving it a shot. Web work took some time to get used to but once you get the hang of it things just feel natural (and I guess that's what happens when you have the brains of the Go team).
- sciguy77 13y agoThat's interesting. I too am not a huge fan of the Ruby syntax, but I've learned to live with it for the most part. It does make me miss Python though. One nice thing about Rails is that there are a LOT of resources out there for learning it like One Month Rails, CodeSchool, etc. I haven't seen the same for Go (yet).
- mattkrea 13y agoThat is definitely the case. The one extremely important part though is that even the standard library source is readable and the documentation is incredible. There are a few books around including on on leanpub (https://leanpub.com/go-thestdlib https://leanpub.com/go-thestdlib). Effective Go (http://golang.org/doc/effective_go.html http://golang.org/doc/effective_go.html) is a great lesson for syntax also. EDIT: add links
- meowface 13y agoI personally find Ruby's syntax much nicer than Go's, though I prefer Python's to both of those.
