Learning Golang is a decent idea

So, I've been tooling around on some free online resources lately, and...

Even though I said Rust is the programming language for the next 40 years due to its ability to enable programmers to write fast and safe "go fast" code at a low level, it seems that human society has decieded to build a bunch of useful things in a garbage-collected language simmiliar to Java from Google called Go(lang) (those &%#@^*$).

It's interesting how quickly Go has gained popularity, and how pervasive it is amongst the new stack sort of tools that are starting to take over software and enterprise computing patterns (i.e. Docker, Kubernetes, containers, hip new tech, code that mows your lawn and walks your dog, etc.).

So why is it so popular, even though it's supposedly an objectively "bad" language?

My uninformed guess is that it's garbage collected like Java (where you don't have to hand back resources to the machine, you just stop using them and it automatically comes around and "picks up the trash"), so it's open season for anyone who's used to working with higher level languages to get started working with. In addition, I would guess that anyone who's taken intro Computer Science classes (which are often taught in Java) could hop on over and start working with Go.

Also, it seems Go seems to have some cool features that make it really useful for networked and multi-threaded code (where multiple tracks of execution are happening at once on one or more CPU cores).

With all of this being said, it's probably a decent idea to learn a little bit of Go given how powerful and popular it is. For either reading code from the plethora of open source tools, or modifying or making your own tools, knowing a bit of Go could be useful.

When in Rome, do as the Romans and all that...

You may notice today's blog post is of a different format than usual. That's because I've decided to write it using markdown on my Github so that I could write this diatribe, and so that I could include the laundry list of (useful?) tools that humans have decided to write in Go below.

Enjoy!
