go is my favorite language period, apps that i write in go seem more stable, easy to maintain because the syntax is quite concise, and the performance of the code seems quite good.

my language history is basic, turbo pascal, c, java, perl, python, javascript, ruby, nodejs, go, swift.

what i really dont like about go or havent mastered yet about the language are error handling and interfaces. error handling forces these oblong parts of code where you check if err is not nil and then do something, that part makes the code look a bit verbose, but i like most other things about the language where i bear and grin.

gobyexample.com is an excellent resource for learning go. i have used go as a restful api backend, a websocket service, and static site generator, all pretty solid code with no errors. i used to run ror and found that not having a good orm at first made programming db apps annoying, but i learned sql syntax long before using orm's and it was just fine.

i have to admit that html templating languages are not that great (ace, amber), but workable.

go apps when written correctly run fast and efficiently.
