This may be a controversial opinion on this list (maybe it's not, I don't know), but I've never thought Go is a particularly good first language. It's an *excellent* language, but I've always said the same thing about it as I did about C/C++ and Java: there's just a touch too much arcana for it to be particularly beginner-friendly. Much of that is because it's aimed squarely at experienced programmers and isn't meant to have training wheels which eventually hem you in.
But I'm biased; I grew up using BASIC on Apple IIs, which was a really great introduction to programming. I feel like the modern equivalent to that is Python or Ruby, or anything where you don't really need to declare a special function that happens to be the thing that runs first. After learning the basics of programming (what's a loop? what's a conditional? how do I write something to the console?), Go makes a very good second language, and tour.golang.org makes a great introduction. But it does assume some prior programming knowledge. If you'd like, I'd be happy to point you toward some good tutorials and/or books. But that's decidedly out of scope for this list. - Dave > On Jul 19, 2019, at 9:50 AM, Veeresh Reddy <veereshredd...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Thanks much .
