@bigboxSWE I don't think I can sell C to backend dev's. This is why I have chosen Go. It feels the closest next step beyond scripting languages for performance. At least there is a garbage collection behind their ass and a great safety on overflows. I know it's a skill issue but demanding

@ThePrimeagen Go is amazing for many reasons compared to many languages. The problem is, I can't tell it to everyone, because then I'm a goLang evangelist and I will be ignored.

@svpino This culture feels very bad. We don't tip at all here, the waiters have a normal salary. The waiters should just stay home, working for free and begging for money is very disrespectful as an employer.

@bresai09 The main reasons for me are the developer experience by simplicity and the performance (by the builtin support for concurrent programming) So you have very good support on typing, fast builds, low latency, good memory control, single binary ...
