@irene
Easier.
No, really, way fucking easier.
Garbage-Collection, so no bugs due to raw memory-management.
100% cross a compilable.
Huge as fuck Standard-Library. -
@irene the main reason for using go is not that it is a compiled language... It has a very concise library and syntax resulting often in far less code to be written without losing clarity. Has some great build in constructs for concurrency. When I need to handle incoming events or timed executions that may overlap I usually prefer go
-
@irene I totally agree with you. Leaving the author of that chart behind, I need to learn more and more each day overcoming the past.
-
@irene I agree with you on the chart. Some of the best code that I have written is in PHP...
Often a language can help enforce good practices but especially longer existing languages contain of constructs that have become either obsolete or are easy to misuse/misunderstand. We programming professionals have to learn how to write idiomatic and that means idiomatic today not when the first standard was drafted. -
@irene
You got a point there.
But since Go is developed by Google and also used by them for their own stuff, I suppose they take care, that it contains no bugs. -
@irene
Well, you dont have to use googles implementation, since there are 2 major Go implementations.
"gc", the original implementation by Google, and " gccgo". -
@nitwhiz
Its a compiled, native, language , primary developed by Google.
Some points about it:
- open-source
- Garbage-Collection
- Multi-Paradigm
- Optimised for secure code and easy concurrency
- statically linked by default
- multiplatform and cross-compilable -
@nitwhiz lol you call Python a "trend"?
-
@Snob
If you see a language used for everything, you can't say anything else than "it's a trend".
What happened to picking right tools for the problem? -
@Lukaszpg A versatile language used for nearly 30 years in the right places is definitely not "just a trend"
-
-
@sunfishcc It is multiple select. I assume this graph is correct and each language has the potential to reach 100%.
So each bar/percentage reflects how many people (percent) of the questioned group (100%) is considering picking it up as a new language.
Your only valid point is that when "not considering" is selected, other options may not be counted. I am not part of this survey so I do not know if it is properly conducted... You can always ask them.
@ThatPerlDeb @bahua everybody already knows Perl 😉 -
@hjk101
Maybe over a certain age, but all these young people coming into the industry know nothing of perl. -
@bahua "all these young people" go home grandpa..

@metamourge NOTHING IS BUG-FREE
-
@metamourge "multiparadiam" is an overstatement with Go. It's very clearly meant to be a functional language. Thus it discourages OO patterns in favor of simple structs.
None of these people are real.

https://arxiv.org/pdf/...
36.63% of the respondents said they’re not planning to use any new programming languages in the coming 12 months.
But, 18.15% of them said they’re planning to use Python, while 16.83% said they’re planning to use Go, followed by JavaScript with 16.17%.
What about the tools?
Honestly, this was the hardest part of the report since it required very thorough data cleaning, and it turns out developer teams use a wide variety of tools, especially when it comes to testing and project management.
