whats cool about golang
Many a times I get asked “yo homeboy, what language you using?” - most of time I’m using the same language, which is golang.
Ever since I learned it, I cannot stop using it. Granted I haven’t stepped out and tried other languages, but I bet I will still stick with it even after trying out new languages.
It’s cool cause:
- single binary distribution
This makes publishing way easier than other languages. (Java|C#|Python) for example requires you to download it’s runtime. While go does not.
- many tools
Could apply to other languages, but generally golang tools are [platform agnostic]. And they’re pretty lightweight. Bonus: easy intergation with the terminal.
- easy concurrency
I admit, I don’t use concurrency that much. But when I do it’s such a breeze.
- faster compilation
I take this for granted all the goddamn time, I’d go as far as to say it doesn’t matter how big your application is, it’s going to compile fast.
