5 Reasons Why Golang is The Best Programming Language to Learn in 2021 (including golang drawbacks)

5 reasons why Golang (go programming language) is the best programming language to learn in 2021 (including golang drawbacks)

Relative newcomer, “Go”, also referred to as “Go Language” or “Golang” (go lang) because of its domain name, is one of the fastest growing programming languages in the software industry. Its speed, simplicity, and reliability in complex architecture make it the perfect choice for all kinds of developers.

Developed in 2007 by tech giant, Google, Golang was first released to the public in 2012 as an alternative to C++ and Java for cross-platform app developers. It’s experienced a massive surge in popularity with programmers around the world. It’s a robust, easy-to-learn and fast language trusted by tech heavyweights Dropbox, Docker, Facebook, Netflix, Uber and Twitter.

For many new coders, Golang programming is their first exposure to a statically typed programming language; encouraged by the fact that the language fundamentals of Go can be learned in a single evening. Of course, that wouldn’t make you a pro just yet – you’ll need to understand the standard library, best coding practices and more specific, niche areas, but the basics can be learned pretty quick.

I'm a Java developer and I started learning Golang since October 2020, to be honest there are things that I really miss such as lambdas and sometimes generics, however, Golang is super lightweight, golang go routines makes multithreading easier, channels and waitgroups are just completely on another level compared to Java completable futures, which are a true pain to code, golang is still young but I can see it as a good server-side language getting the throne in maybe a decade

"Can be learn in a single evening"

Well, looks like my IQ is less than 0

[seanknowles]

Generics are confirmed for the end of this year. Golang beta release already has generics that you can use today.

Thank you. I have been looking for a video like this for more than a year. Very informative and well made. It seems like you know what you're talking about.
Code. I'm trying to encourage my colleagues to check out Go for our back end. I have been working in development, both software and hardware, for a log time and I want to learn Go this year.

Code. I've been coding in C for over 30 years. Go is the best successor to C I've seen over my career. The ease and simplicity Go provides for writing correct concurrent code that can utilize all cores on your system, have so many fewer memory errors, and reduced risk of deadlocks puts Go totally of all other language I've looked at. Go completely makes C / pthread programming obsolete. Should you need the raw power of C: Use cgo, it is easy. With that access, you also can write assembly should you need tightly optimized code. 95% of the code I've written in Go performs more than fast enough, so worrying about further optimizations are rare. Should you need "bomb proof" code where you need guarantees of correctness, especially in concurrent code, Rust is for you, but at a higher (much) learning curve than Go. I'm now using Go as my first "goto" language, vs C. I've been writing Go code for maybe 3 years now, or 10% of my total time coding over my career. Before walking away from go, look at all of the core packages that comes with Go, understand how channels and concurrency really work, understand how channels and the Go scheduler work, and how memory management actually works. These are most of the pain points in programming, solved.

Well if I have to pick, and with experience by making a proper server side app in go, handling error was a pain, if conditions everywhere just to handle those, error returns as value so you have to make sure it's nil everytime, else something else may break or you won't even know where is the error originate from. overall simplicity is good when you need to understand what's those functions are doing no complaint there. And I don't care much about generics, I do have to write some extra code but it was fine, but with generics some problems can be solved but it will also increase language complexity. Also after writing some code I atleast definately need turnery operations, there are so many if's there because of error I could've removed with it, and code would be more readable too

[farhadhossain]

Already started with GO. Wanna lead a my rest carrier with this robust Language. Thanks for this video.

[ramzbew]

May be it is easy to learn Go's syntax. But anything beside no.

I ttied to move to Go from Python. And tbh I dont see any reason to learn Go despite it id compiled language and you can easier hide your source vode and also huge salaries...And that's it. In almost all cases it will be harder to create project on Go than on Python

[wmtbuddhika]

descriptive, but videos are disturbing to the concentration.

[bikeaday]

3:10 I'm really curious to hear what that guy could possibly be saying about what's on that screen.

[gamewhipess]

I love go. I just switched as a beginner I don't need versatility.

[jamescrone]

Learned c++ going to start learning rust and then golang ty for your thoughts !

[BP-qypb]

JVM and dotnet runtime are sucks.
No vm support is actually a great thing.

[jagaAlien]

Hey I'm persuing my M.Sc in AI and I have some intermediate knowledge on Go, but when I'm searching for best documents or tutorial for learning ML and DL using GoLang I'm not finding any, please can you suggest or share me few tutor or doc which could help

[this.channel]

I'm trying to decide between Golang and V.

[hipertracker]

I prefer Elixir, with Phoenix and BEAM it is beyond the competition.

[hello-test-user]

Can you please recommend which framework of golang should learn.? I am new to learn golang

[Rogueixpresents]

lets refrain ourselves using the words like "best" it's cuck meta, need to understand Go's strength but it's not perfect for every situation.

[klarnorbert]

It has a GUI library, btw. Just not in the standard lib.

[viniciusrangel]

golang Error handler for sure it's an advantage, write your own errors allows you to control your application.
