Observations from a Python programmer learning Go lang
Submitted Nov 29, 2016
Technical level:
Beginner
Go (often referred to as golang) is an open source programming language created at Google. Unlike Python which is an interpreted language, Go is compiled. A few projects have moved from using Python to Go lang lately. This talk summarizes observations made when a Python programmer learns Go.
This aim of this talk is only to share experiences of learning Go for people coming from Python background and not to claim which one is better.
Outline
Topics that I wish to cover:
- Data structures
- Differences in syntax
- Things that I miss in Go
- Error handling
- Concurrency
