Nice video, short and very descriptive. But, are there any reasons to use Go over Rust? Not talking about things like demand or simplicity. I wanna know if Go has any advantages in terms of code. Speed, safety, time spent coding, etc. Also, is it worth learning it over Rust for personal projects?

@dreamsofcode

Жыл бұрын

I'd say the major reason is cognitive complexity when compared to Rust. Go is much more aligned with imperative languages, which most devs learn to code with. Therefore productivity is easier on teams which some cost for speed or safety. That being said, I do love Rust and would personally prefer to use it more, but I can see the business use case for Go. For personal projects: it depends. Do you want to get something built fast or for fun, if for fun, then use whatever language will give you the most joy! For rapid prototyping, Go is probably going to be better, especially as it has a larger community and thus more mature packages to use.

​@OffroadG ; Rust is safer at compile time by being strict about what you can and cannot do. Go, however, has little compile time safety: everything is mutable, so you're always at risk of data races, the type system is weak, and there are many edge cases that can surprise you. Rust seems harder becomes it makes you handle all of the necessary complexity. Once you do that, your program is more reliable. On the other hand, Go tries to hide that from you, but it will eventually bite you. You see all this as "punishment", but it's better viewed as "additional safety".

I can find a lot of answer for JS, Java, Python, PHP by searching it, but for GO I rarely had an accurate search result.

V is a better Go. I wonder if Go will update to include much of its functionality. Also I wonder why V compiles faster than Go since they both rely on C. I don't know if V will ever make it to prime time but so far I've been liking it. I like the simplicity of `!` compared to having to handle all the errors. That way you can create "messages" (errors) and then just pass it up to the top and handle them at the very top to figure out what you want to send back to the user.
