Why You Should Learn Go 

In my internship I found this to be true. We spent a lot of time refactoring typescript written by a previous intern who left.

And golang is far too verbose to be easily readable.

@@vitalyl1327 Java was the king of verbosity back in the days, 😉. if foo != nil does not make Go looks modern.

and the following intern rewrote your code?

If you think about jobs in terms of language you’re doing it wrong

@@richcaputo2929 90% if java jobs are backend webapp springboot, other languages might have more of an issue with this, go has little to no jobs for it half of them are probably devops

@@richcaputo2929 i think you really have to think about it as languages and their ecosystem, for example java springboot and c# .Net even tho the language is almost identical i don't see many developers work on both, beacuse the marketshare is big, does the same thing and the ecosystem takes time to learn, not like you can just pick another language and be as fast takes a long time

@@richcaputo2929 You have to be proficient with at least one language that people will pay you for.

​@@richcaputo2929This is correct for several reasons. One of them being that is an extrinsic financial reward that is transient.

Because pre rendered HTML is easier for Google to crawl in order list accurately as opposed to dynamic content Javascript?

I think it makes sense when a program gets large enough, I just don't like how some people must, perhaps naively, organize everything into a class. Early abstraction can sometimes get you in trouble and you find yourself over analyzing and designing components of a problem instead of solving the problem outright.

Rust implemented Alan Key's paradigm, or the others? Sorry.

@@joebulfer I saw that Rust and go greatly implement Alan Key's paradigm (not 100% though) but the others where too focused in the "object" of OOP and didn't really implement it as it was ment to be (especially with the four pillars of OOP)

First time hearing about Odin. If I wanted to do game dev I'd probly do Godot for the sake of the game. For the sake learning Go I am developing in it.

​​@@joebulfer Godot is beatiful and quite easy to pick up, agree. Do you hold any opinions on using Go for gamedev? New to this, still trying to understand if GC is a big issue edit: I commented too fast 😅 thanks for mentioning "Golang Physics Engine" vid. I guess I'll try OpenGL bindings and just see for myself, really want to get into game engine development but don't want to invest into C++

@@kshyr811Yeah Go is definitely not popular for Game dev. Rust seems to be the upcoming language in that space with engines like Bevvy and Veloren the most impressive game I've seen.

@@kshyr811 Go doesn't have very good control over the threading, because it's all abstracted as goroutines. That can make it a bit harder to control latency.

My CS professor teaches us all the intricate details of Typescript and every lab has to fit everything into a class. Like he will create a class system with methods in order to fill an array of objects containing products with prices, names, brand etc. These products are displayed as HTML on a page and sorted. I just filled the array directly with objects avoiding the classes and it was half the code. Then I could focus on manipulating the actual DOM and displaying/sorting those products on the page.

Why is that? Go is fairly simple syntax and probably has less keywords/built in functions than python due to its intentional minimal design.

@@joebulfer in the book of Head First for Go it wasnt described as a suitable First language to learn

@@mariobroselli3642Why? And what is the author's idea of a suitable language?

@@joebulfer i have to Check but Python was for example introduced in the book "learning to Code" or a similar title and was intended as a first introduction. I wonder what they say in the Ruby book or the JS book.

@@joebulfer Head First did Not Cover Lisp but universities Like to teach Racket or a functional lang First Like OcaML.

It's important to note where a language is being adopted. If you look at Jetbrains survey you can see Rust is mostly hobbyist developers (or personal/side projects) while Go was used by developers at work. So it's not just a matter of total number of people using it, but whom. I would argue a language being adopted by actual businesses is more noteworthy than people's side projects.

Python is great for beginners! Thanks for the sub

Your are right that certain languages are better for employability. Though I would say it doesn't really matter because any place will hire you if you have enough experience regardless of language. Once you've learned several, it takes little time to pick up a new one.

Ur not making sense

Why?

Can you still hear my voice and read the text? I accidently chose the LVR (low video resolution) from my gopro next time should be better.

@@joebulferNothing really wrong with the video quality; the audio is completely clear, which is all that really matters.

@@joebulfer The video is great

Are you building high performance applications?

@@joebulfer if a process scheduler falls under high performance then yes

im just kinda having fun with you here though i get it lol
