Key quotes
· 3 pulledI like Go. I actually don’t mind writing err != nil that much. Just set up a snippet and you’re good to Go.
Go is vanilla. It just werks. You build it, you ship it. The language is simple and you don’t need to try hard to make it performant.
But sometimes you just want something different, something that feels more modern and expressive while maintaining performance.
