Piece of trivia about your favorite language

  • The language of my choice is Golang
  • It was developed by Ken Thomson, Rob Pike and Robert Griesemer in 2009
  • I started learning Go in 2014. Although people say that Golang is very useful for writing light-weight microservices.
  • What I like MOST about go is that you can compile the binaries for multiple OSes and Architectures on the same machine.

  • This is helpful when I am developing open-source tools that can be easily downloaded on any machine.

  • For example: My twitch project

  • My second favorite thing about Go is the ease to write programs that utilizes concurrency

  • For example: My health-check project

  • What I dislike MOST about GO is the lack of built-in libraries.

  • For example, to use a queue or stack, you have to implement if from scratch

  • Another thing I disliked about GO was how they used to manage library dependencies. Overtime they improved this with go mod
  • It’s nice to see the language you like evolve to what you have now. It’s like watching a pet grow.
