Hi, thanks for sharing. I am not convinced about the reasons stated why Go is better than the other languages you mentioned. I am just learning Go, but I have 20 years of experience as a professional developer using various languages. I think students, beginners and professionals should use Go because of it's developer-first attitude. Ergonomics, I've heard it said.
* productivity * enjoyment * nice workflow and development tools * unix philosophy of small chain-able tools The lissajous example in the the gopl.io [1] book is a great example. In ~50 lines of code, there is a generator of animated gifs of harmonic motion curves, which it serves up on http, or write to standard out. How many lines of code would the same thing be in C, or in Python? I suspect more LOC, and I suspect 3rd party libraries would be involved. 1. https://github.com/adonovan/gopl.io/blob/master/ch1/lissajous/main.go Cheers, Alex -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
