Thread 106413688

it appears my superiority has led to some controversy

>>106413688 (OP)
no

I don't have a problem with you little retarded gopher. At least you're not a rustacean.

Success breeds jealousy, as they say.

Why does
if err != nil {
do error stuff
}

cause so many people to seethe?

>>106413728
Codelets like their errors swept under the rug.

Why would anyone use Go when you can just use Python?

>>106413790
>Why would anyone ride planes when they could just ride a ship?
Because it's fast you moron

>>106413728
it doesn't. intelligent people simply choose not to associate with your language. this leads both groups to be much happier.

Go is open source, but what happens if Google abandons it or goes crazy? Would someone fork it and how would that work?

>>106413728
because it's verbose and annoying. It makes perfect sense and it's what people use in C, however.

>>106413790
Because Big Techies gotta have Static Typing and Compilation with Design Patterns on an IDE else they can't get hard and they get Dynamic Typing cooties.

At least post the fucking picture you're referencing you fucking newfag

>>106413790
>Go is le Python alternative
idk who forced that out to the public but okay
Go is literally as barebones as C but with GC and better multithreading
it's not an easy language, it's easy the same way as C is easy. not many keywords, not many concepts. but nobody would call C easy

inb4 let me post that Rob Pike quote I don't understand

Why should I use Go when Rust exists? Checkmate.

>>106414366
bc rust has cut its thighs again

Anything to divide the pythonistas. If these "people" stop using python for everything the world will be a little better.

>>106413891
The common thread is Google. Google pushed python hard, realized after 20 years that it's shit for "learning to program", now they're shilling Go.

>>106414454
Nah they are at flutter or dart or whatever now, let's hope it doesn't end up like gwt with 2 people maintaining it in their off time, while I'm still being forced to use that shit at work

It's fast compared to Python. It's slow as shit compared to basically any decent statically typed language.

>It's slow as shit compared to basically any decent statically typed language.
as usual, /g/tards talk out of their asses.
It's "slow" in benchmarks only because the compiler targets amd64 v1, while most C/C++ benchmarks customize the target.
see, for example:
https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/program/fannkuchredux-go-3.html
MAKE:
/opt/src/go1.23.1/go/bin/go build -o fannkuchredux.go-3.go_run fannkuchredux.go-3.go


https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/program/fannkuchredux-gpp-6.html
MAKE:
/usr/bin/g++ -c -pipe -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -march=ivybridge -std=c++17 -fopenmp fannkuchredux.gpp-6.c++ -o fannkuchredux.gpp-6.c++.o && \


check https://go.dev/wiki/MinimumRequirements#amd64 and see for yourself: GOAMD64=v1 is the default value.

What kind of superiority? Perhaps you mean superiority over piece of shit languages like Python? Well, congratulations gotard.

>>106413891
It's a language for idiots per the language creators
