Why I switched from JS to Golang (As a Javascript Developer) 

This guy does coding videos while in bed. He wins the Internet.

bruh you are the first guy recording lying on a bed, lmao it's so original keep that up, loved it

Bruh you're programming in bed? That's next level

The most relaxing introduction to Go ever 😀

I love your teaching vibe, you get straight to use cases and how they’re tackled and not a lot of content creators do that. Keep it up bro 😎

2020: Not wearing pants on a zoom call. 2021: Giving a presentation from bed. What's next for our cultural evolution?

Hey 2-years-ago-Ryan: it's mid-2023 and I'm using your videos every couple of days to keep me going-- your cool cadence and immediately practical vibe are like pure programming sugar as I slog through onboarding into a new complex project with three new languages (like, I like learning, and I'm okay with being confused and lost and wrong a lot, but it does wear me down). Anyway, you're the light at the end of the tunnel with your genuine excitement and can-do pragmatism. Plus, doing it all while chilling, a hero to us all. Thanks, Ryan!

Man u are my supermodel. There is no such cooler thing than coding and making a video while lying on the bed. SUBSCRIBED

This was a great overview of Go! Thanks!

Nice video. Enjoy your journey as a Gopher. For those curious, goroutines are like little independent processes multiplexed on threads. Creating and destroying a thread is expensive but goroutines are super lightweight and cheap to create and destroy.

Laying in bed, so relaxing voice, concise and clear,... Man add a cocktail and it's like a vacation watching you

Bro, the way you chill while coding is awesome 😂

Like your style of delivery, subbed!

Great video, as a javascript developer i was unsure about learning go and this video clarified my thoughts

The best under 10 minute intro I've seen yet.

Awesomw video bruv! Let's go we need more content 👨‍💻🚀

I started to learn golang a couple of weeks ago for almost the same reasons, good observations, and damn you were so smooth. code & chill lmao

Golang is so easy to learn. I love this language. If i have to choose close compiled alternative to js then it definitely would be golang.

Learned more about Go in 8 min with your video than the two hours I've spent with some random tuts found on google. Tks!

Great video!!

Nice! IMO Js with Go can be the best (React in front-end & Golang as restfull API in back-end)

From PHP to Java to NodeJS to Python finally GO. Now I'm in paradise.

You sir have convinced me to get into Go

This is kinda tutorial I need. ❤

If a man lying in bed eloquently tells you to try Go, try Go. Awesome video bro, I'll be starting a project "soon" and would love to build the backend in go, rather than node-ts. I'm already exploring go, and it's definitely different, but I'm open minded and optimistic that I'll enjoy coding the go way. Stay well my brother ☮️🏆

Definitely subscribed!

Wow, I didn't to knew about that. Thanks a lot.

I think you are just saying “I am switching from fronted dev to backend dev “

Appreciate the vid. I'm a little curious about Go as a Node dev, but haven't worked on anything that has made me use it just yet. Everything in the vid is reasonably reproducible in Node. The TypeScript typechecker is really slow, so your last point is resonating pretty hard. That's why kdy1 is porting the TypeScript compiler to Go, and I can't wait

Oh my God I aspire to be the type of developer you are so badly. That’s chilling out enjoying what you do beyond comprehension

These aspects you mention are what I like about Kotlin

Very useful thank you

That's what I like, straight to the point! I would use a pointer in IsAdult function: func (p *Person)..

I came here to learn about Go but now I need to know what your bed setup is

Damn bro made me subscribe. 2024 I'm learning Go

most comfortable youtuber

this is a dope video! 🙂

I’d say knowing JS and Go are a must in your skill set. Go is going to be the language for building reliable, scalable implementations of ML algorithms. So, Go it’s a nice to have not necessarily a replacement for JS.

You're taking "home office" to the next level lying in bed and all

liked and subbed, keep up the good work

Hooooold up, long running operations in GO vs JS, even if GO compiled to JS would still be JS single threads. So how does it help if you needed a JS app?

nice video, thanks

Do you Jacky while you Hacky

What if we had to compare it it to TS though.. Would miss the .map, .filter etc.. 😭

Awesome video style man! How is your audio so good, btw? 🤔

nice video!!!

Legend

I kinda only need Golang for Calculations though, nodejs is quite enough for most of my RestApi calls anyway.

Hey Ryan. Quick question: was there any specific resource that you used to learn Go? I want to transition into Go from JS like you mentioned and tryna figure out where to start.

Great video, can you compare Python and Go?

Wow nice Go is a nice-looking language syntax wise. The println reminds me of Kotlin's println and I think there was another language which used the println as well? Also, never seen a language use the double dots with the equal sign ':=' ? I don't know. But I am guessing Golang is primarily used as a backend language?

What about Typescript?

Hi Ryan, I am back. I decided to message you because I was wondering if you were familiar with C# and Java? I am looking at either one of these technologies because I am getting close to learning and creating projects with JavaScript my focus is full stack. I choose C# and Java because both are posted a lot in the job market in NYC especially Java. But my question to you is, which tech is easier to pick up in terms of finding materials to learn and create projects and which one is better supported and finally from your personal opinion which one would you recommend? Love your videos and aspires me to focus deeper into programming, thanks man.

This man legit woke up, get his laptop, and decided to record a video in bed.

So THIS is the zoom level at which a JS developer develops. Nice to know!

What about typescript to address the larger projects

8:05 maaaan come on, that's why they have created typescript, you could do those on typescript too.. anyway but the go also cool, thanks man, I loved your pillow

Why I switched from JS to Golang (As a C++ developer)

Comparing JS to Golang doesn't make any sense - unless you are specifically referring to NodeJS. JS and Golang are used in completely different ecosystems and solve different problems.

What about typescript?

This guy's voice is just joyful.

Golang looks fun

Which table are u using

Nice video

You just described TypeScript

Finally One more js frontend man switched to a proper backend technology

I don't understand why I'm so instantly a fan

the thing is that I do not see many job openings for Golang

me on my bed watching this guy code from his bed xD

he's just chilling tho

Instantly subbed when I saw that you were in bed that's hilarious

compiler is also super fast.

Was it hard for you to find jobs in Golang if your base was Javascript ?

What's about Rust for Backend

so why did you switch? :D

Nice GoLang is used in startups fangs everywhere just like Java. Java is old and boring. Golang is fills the gap real nice

Ashamed to admit but I can at times stay and work in bed for the whole day

So basically, you don't want to use typescript and web/node workers ?

You also do that same concurrency thing is nodejs too but u need to know about node clustering and fork worker

i just started the vid and i can't believe that he just recorded this in bed

Js is going to be the king for web frontend though...until WASM is pretty mature I think

why not typescript? 🤔

' Golang is not Object oriented but makes you do object oriented type of things..' 😭😂

Ok i agree go is good language but man straight away coding in go from bed something epic i never saw in my life. Setup tour please

man how are you typing

Why Go when Rust?

How to call javascript when you build go web application? That is the hard part in golang

+1 like for lying in bed while recording ....

this video is more like "Learn Go in Single Video"

Golang is amazing

Both languages are very different.

I don't understand this comparison. Go is server side and js in on the browser. Cool vid though

next level is coding while sleeping

I thought I was the only one programming in bed

Golang bestlang 💪💪

Go, JS, and wasm with a webview.

Its not that easy. .Js is so popular. all companies only support .js. you can use .js natively in firebase and cloudflare worker

JavaScript and Golang are two completely different programming languages. They have minimal overlap in terms of domain and can therefore never be an option with each other.

anyone interested look up the defer keyword!
