How is 'Go' as a programming language

Question

Hi everyone!

Are there some people who have experience with 'Go' or know something about the language and it's (dis)advantages? I am thinking about learning it in the future but don't know if it is something I will find very useful.
Is it a language you would recommend to others?

Happy coding everyone! :D

Answer 1

Advantages:

-Go compiles very quickly.
-Go supports concurrency at the language level.
-Functions are first class objects in Go.
-Go has garbage collection.
-Strings and maps are built into the language.

Disadvantages:

-Go is still an experimental language subject to change. (I suppose this could be an advantage depending on how you look at it. For most it's probably a disadvantage.)
-Go's not very usable on Windows yet.
-The packages distributed with Go are pretty useful, but there are still --some libraries you'll miss. Most notably a UI toolkit.
-There is no support for generics in Go, although there are many discussions around it.
