I think one of my favourite things about Go is that it makes it easy and obvious to code well. Generally the first thing that comes to my mind is going to be performant and extendable. The reason this is the case, I think, is that Go strive

Packaging is both the best and worst of Go. I love the decentralisation, so there's no central directory of Go code. We don't have pypi, we don't have rubygems or npm, we have Github . As others have pointed out, you can use

I'm starting to feel so left out. Why do crazy Go-haters never harass me? Am I not good enough?

So now that we've established Ruby is better at being Ruby than Go is, I wonder if there's an actual use case for this kind of thing, so I can demonstrate the "Go way" of handling it...

I wouldn't say Go doesn't have a testing culture. On what basis do you make that assertion? I write better tests for my Go code than for any code in other languages that I write. But maybe I just think in complementary ways to Go's testing

Updated to generalise a bit more. If this ever came up in code review, I'd probably facepalm pretty hard. http://play.golang.org/p/YUQSZgFx_b

I thought this would be a fun exercise, so I implemented the Go equivalent. Can anyone get it to fewer lines? It abandoned all pretenses of readability long ago. http://play.golang.org/p/M5VaeIgQ-q

Go does not have the fascination with one-liners that Ruby has. Which is why I like Go. In my experience, people who write in Go value code clarity over terseness.

Go's interfaces make it really, really easy to change things with very little code changing. Go's testing tools are superb.

Let's be new and terrible programmers together, because I feel like the only way to fully understand whatever tech is out there is to actually use it.

I think it has lots of good SQL stuff just because I think it laid a nice foundation for developers to build SQL libraries on, and I think there's a lot of potential for using SQL in Go to get dramatically better in the next year or so. Tha

Memcached's author (Brad Fitzpatrick) is a Go user, and wrote a memcache client for Go. Go has a bunch of good stuff surrounding SQL. I haven't used MySQL, personally, so I can't comment on which MySQL driver is best, but I know YouTube use

I'm a little in love with you for the phrase "hipster terms". I am not ignoring your technical points--I think we may have to agree to disagree, here. You certainly have a valid opinion, and are entitled to it. We think a little differently

I had the same thought. However. http://www.flickr.com/photos/david-hilgart/4142396713/ If the photographer calls them ducks, who am I to argue?

Personally, I thought it was awesome that Hem and Haw were linking to Who Moved My Cheese? and suggesting someone else needed to read it. This seems to be a very cut-and-dry Who Moved My Cheese scenario.
