You are the reason all employers think full stack is literally every language and framework.

[U.Inferno]

Go was the language of choice for my distributed class and the way it carried me through the hardest assignments I ever tackled in my degree has sowed a deep seed of appreciation in me. My professor called it a fusion of C and Python, and it takes a lot of the better elements of both.

Whatever I think this guy does that. Incredibleee

[killermonkey]

As much as I admire Ken Thompson, C was largely Dennis Ritchie's achievement.

I came back to say "Thanks!" I first came across this video at the end of May 2022. I've been working with C# since 2003. I had been thinking of picking up a new language and the weekend that I decided to start learning Rust I came across this video and saw golang for the first time. And I loved it. I started playing around with it on weekends but since November 2022, aside from about 50 lines of C# code, all my code until now has been in Go. This video format was enough to highlight all the important bits and get me hooked on the language. I did take a look at rust just in case, but it's not for me. I have now added Golang to the languages I'm comfortable working with going forward.

A series about programming languages could be fun! What's up with Rust? Why is Haskell so different? Is PHP still a valid choice? I have lots of questions that could be answered with a very basic overview of certain languages.

Also, great video as usual

Ok I'm officially convinced that Fireship is a psychic... I seriously just started learning Go yesterday.

[nicolaus]

It is starting to become genuinely frightening that no matter what technology I discover or would like get into, it takes about 2-3 days until I receive a YouTube recommendation of a new Fireship video about that specific topic.
Seriously, no matter how often I think "that's it. fireship can't do even better." he simply does and that's why you are the #1 learning platform when it comes to software engineering to me! <3

[neoTriny]

The quality is getting better day by day
thank you!!!

[albertsun]

One of my favorite parts of using Go was the ease of concurrency - channels and waitgroups (kinda semaphores?) are built-into the language, and concurrency is as simple as appending "go" before a function call. No need to wrangle with threads (plus memory managment as well) or async/await or anything like that!

[_____case]

Goroutines are based on the 1978 "Communicating Sequential Processes" paper by Tony Hoare.

We stand on the shoulders of giants.

The best thing about Go is that you keep the performance of native executables, but with GC and great package ecosystem.

Next: Rust in 100 Seconds, the Go nemesis.

[GumowyKaczor]

I love your channel Jeff.
Your work is incredible, keep it up! <3

The most awaited video so Far Thank you, @Fireship
Also, Please Upload Video on the GoLang in the Field of Web or Server (more than 100s).

[hououinkyouma]

Finally a 100 seconds on my favorite language! Great content as usual :)

[russmaster]

Your timing is insane, I started learning Go after applying to Hashicorp as an intern right after seeing your Terraform video. Would love to see a haskell video next!

[Ollinho]

Go is great. I mainly use it for automating tasks, and I'm starting to use it as a replacement for node for my web servers.

[gregou]

What a video, again, and again. Amazing man. Thanks and I wish you will keep doing more.

[kevinxin]

I don't know if you'll see this comment but thank you for making such amazing and concise videos. You are very inspiring. There are two people that I really look up to on youtube, one is Grant from 3Blue1Brown, and you sir. Your video creation process video helped me a lot in assembling my own ideas and creating new things. Thank you again!
