I know this is dumb, but cute animal logos is the reason I refuse to learn Go.
IMO, go’s gopher is ugly, not cute. But, anyway, there are better reasons not to learn Go.
I’m curious to know those reasons. I’d like to pretend that I have a valid argument against Go.
For one - the error handling. Every codebase is filled with messy, hard to type:
if err != nil { ... }And it doesn’t even give you a stack trace to debug the problem when an error happens, apparently.
Second reason - it lacks many features that are generally available in most other languages. Generics is the big one, but thankfully they added them in last half a year or so. In general Golang’s design principle is to implement only the required minimum.
And probably most important - Go is owned by Google, aka the “all seeing eye of Sauron”. There was recently a big controversy with them proposing adding an on-by-default telemetry to the compiler. And with the recent trend of enshittification, I wouldn’t trust google or any other mega-corporation.
Yeah the “owned by google” thing is a big turn-off. And telemetry… he’ll no. Also it’s weird that Go doesn’t have a ternary. It’s a small thing, but it’s a thing.
Guess you’re stuck with C++
Right, the only other language.
Because it has an animal mascot that’s not cute.
Poor Keith. ;_;
I didn’t even know they has a mascot. And now my idiot-brain wants to learn c++ for a bad reason (on top of some good reasons).
That gopher is literally the reason I have been considering learning go. Same with plan 9.
