When I read all these posts praising Go, I feel like a stranger accidently appeared at
someone's birthday party. I really want to start loving Go, it looks perspective and people already benefit from using it, but I just cannot make me enjoy the language. Having Java/Scala background I used to have static checking and performance for free and I cannot feel about Go the same as someone who switched from Python, PHP, Ruby stacks.
I code mainly in Scala, and even if I like Go's simplicity, compilation speed and the absense of Java burden, I really miss features like default immutability, pattern matching, generics, reach collection toolset, powerful typesystem. The language looks just not expressive for me to really enjoy. Maybe I am corrupted with FP, cannot value simplicity or I should focus more on getting things done not on the process of writing code.
Just wonder, if anyone else have similar impressions / feelings? |
