Go things
I learned a few things about Go today. And got a good Rob Pike quote too:
a little copying is better than a little dependency - Rob Pike
I like Go, but I don’t use it really. I’ve thought about it many times, but I keep finding Python does my simple jobs just fine. What I like is the cross-platform story and the relative absence of the abstractionsim one finds in the C++ community: for most uses the most generic of fastest solution is not as important as writing code that’s easily understood.
The new things are the magic things at the bottom of the text, of which I only knew capitalisation for export. They are weird, but efficient, in a way, I guess.
