How do you like working with Go? I've been meaning to start trying it out here soon, but haven't looked very far. I'm coming from a C# background.


I come from C#. Golang is nice and simple. I really miss generics. Going from the expressiveness of C# to golang is hard at first.


If you come from a C# background, it will feel a bit weird initially. You will more than likely miss generics, you might also miss the strong OOP model.

In the compiled world, I have somewhat of a background in C (haven't really done much with it in the last few years, though), so to me Go feels sort of like "C with a really strong std lib". I have really enjoyed the decisions they have made with the language, tbh, the people behind it have a proven track record. It's fun and very powerful, there is tremendous potential in it.

I miss all the libs available in C, but this is understandable due to the early age of the project. I also feel like it needs better package management (but I read that is a priority for this year).
