Error handling is not very fun, but the syntax of the language overall is pretty good.

Error handling is too good once you understand how to use it properly. You can use libraries like lo similar to lodash in js it's gonna make things so much simpler

Go's error handling is only more verbose if you are not handling errors on other languages.

So it's a great language but the packaging and syntax sucks. But it also has a runtime GC.

Kinda funny you called the std library slim and said there are packages lacking. Yes you probably won’t find a „is-true-ai“ or „add-two-numbers“ like in JavaScript, but the package ecosystem is enormous. And because so many cloud-native things are built in Go, like Docker and Kubernetes for example, you get the best first party support you could have, as it’s the reference implementation for every other language. About the standard library… hard disagree. It’s not slim in the slightest. It has so much different packages, and there are quite a few libraries and applications that don’t use any external dependencies at all, because the std lib is just so vast. Entire web app, including first party JSON support, http router, templating engine (ie for server side rendered web pages (or alternatively declaring a embed.FS variable, which includes a given directory inside the binary of the built app and can therefore statically serve your entire react/etc web app)) and many other things? Well, no external dependencies needed - it’s all in the std.

This Happens When Python guy looks at any other language.. Except C 😂 As C Cpp and C# are two i think people must learn atleast basics Then Python so That will consider any language to atleast not complaining...😂

Funny enough these were my exact thoughts when picking up Go. Definitely loved/hated err and missed a ton of packages.

Python support async programming, you don't need thread pool for everything

To the beginners, no Go isn't as simple as it seems, it will really take time to learn and build something meaningful with Go.
