| I used Scala, which was running on the JVM. The barrier to entry be it Java or Scala is quite high. I completed the "Introduction to Programming in Go" in under 3 hours and in less than 6 hours I was able to code a full-fledged application. I cannot say/vouch the same for Java or Scala. I would like to have an enterprise-level language inside my company without the complexities associated. I think goLang solves my problem and hence I use it. I love the JVM, it's fast, sturdy, reliable. But throw in more JAVA developers at it, no matter how good, you end up with half-baked code, unused classes and unwanted complexity. I wish I could throw in more Scala developers, but it's not possible at the moment within my financial constraints. Almost 100% of the developers we hire know C/C++ well, so it's much much easier to teach them GoLang, than say, Java. And that is a huge time and money well saved for me. >If you haven't tried GoLang yet, you should try writing your own framework. I only say this because I want people to understand how incredibly simple the GoLang is. Hope this helps. |
