Go is not listed as an OO language on Wikipedia. Personally I think it is OO-like. OO typically has inheritance.
There are also no “class variables” - only package level - which makes some encapsulation patterns harder (every class has to become a package). > On Nov 22, 2022, at 9:06 AM, Matt KØDVB <m...@k0dvb.com> wrote: > > The correct answer is actually “yes” because neither classes nor inheritance > are necessary or sufficient for “object-oriented” programming. > > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jexEpE7Yv2A > > Sent from my iPad > >>> On Nov 22, 2022, at 9:02 AM, Ayan George <a...@ayan.net> wrote: >>> >> >> >> The Go FAQ begins the answer to the question, "Is Go an object-oriented >> language," with, "yes and no." >> >> https://go.dev/doc/faq#Is_Go_an_object-oriented_language >> >> The section goes on to say that Go has methods but there is no type >> hierarchy.
