all right, pardner! i’ll make sure to speak like a cowboy every time i’m talking to ya, from here on out! no matter how bad i am at at the accent! you surely won’t regret this request! ​ ZWJ 🤠

@wallhackio we get it clodboy you’re Unaware

@monorail nope

i was expecting more yeses on the furst poll tbh

@wallhackio why is that a character flaw

@vaporeon_ @wallhackio i haven’t written any go

@vaporeon_ @wallhackio this is javascript

@vaporeon_ @wallhackio as fur things Go is worse at than C: it is garbage collected lol

@vaporeon_ @wallhackio the name comes from the phrase “if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and talks like a duck, it’s a duck”

@vaporeon_ @wallhackio typing based on structure rather than inheritance—“if it has these methods with the purropurr type signatures, then it is one of these”

go calls this a “protocol”. it’s kind of like java interfaces but without ever having to explicitly declare that you are implementing one

@vaporeon_ @wallhackio the type system is more expurressive and notably suppurrts a natural way of expurressing duck typing (i do think some type expurressions look kinda bad to read though)

compilation is quite fast (dealing with very slow C++ compile times was one of the major motivators fur creating the language)

concurrency is a furst class feature and apparently fairly intuitive to work with

@amy nya

@wallhackio @vaporeon_ lmao

@wallhackio @vaporeon_ you would purrobably like go if you think like that

@vaporeon_ @wallhackio if you purrogram enough with pass-by-refurence languages you just get used to it ​
