I use vs code for Go development and it's pretty amazing. Slowly starting to use it in other languages as well, but the Go support is really 5*.


I use it for F# and Nim and while there are some flaws, it's the best experience on linux for these two languages. It also lowers the bar to entry on other languages, e.g. Go, which is on my list of to-learns.


How do you like working with Go? I've been meaning to start trying it out here soon, but haven't looked very far. I'm coming from a C# background.


I come from C#. Golang is nice and simple. I really miss generics. Going from the expressiveness of C# to golang is hard at first.


If you come from a C# background, it will feel a bit weird initially. You will more than likely miss generics, you might also miss the strong OOP model.

In the compiled world, I have somewhat of a background in C (haven't really done much with it in the last few years, though), so to me Go feels sort of like "C with a really strong std lib". I have really enjoyed the decisions they have made with the language, tbh, the people behind it have a proven track record. It's fun and very powerful, there is tremendous potential in it.

I miss all the libs available in C, but this is understandable due to the early age of the project. I also feel like it needs better package management (but I read that is a priority for this year).
