My statement earlier is wrong: The Go 1 compatibility approach may be worth mentioning: programs written > in 2009 will still work in 2019 with the state of the art compiler. Go 1 was actually 2012, not 2009. Also Go 2 may start at some point soon, so maybe "programs written in 2012 will stil

I am a systems administrator. I find it easier and faster to write a program in Go than it is to script it in Bash. Since writing scripts is something most Sys Admins do I've had to write them in Perl, PHP, TCL, Ruby, etc. and the BIGGEST frustration is that I would get a script written debugg

I like Go because it improves on C for engineers in almost every way and avoids classes, and, at least today, if you have a problem then it will be solved quickly by the people following the GitHub issue tracker and contributing to the source code. Go avoids complexities such as generics (aka t

Thanks for your suggestion! To put it in context, I'm drafting a plan for my colleagues in order to make a case for using Go in teaching instead of Fortran or C. On Friday, March 2, 2018 at 1:29:45 PM UTC-8, dorival...@gmail.com wrote: > > Hi, I could be wrong (please correct me ;-), but here
