Go for C++ Developers


I liked the talk because of the coverage and meaningful conversations it had.

 My thoughts are:-

1. I think Golang is a very powerful language for backend systems development.
2. The simplicity of the language and support for concurrency is what makes it practical.
3. For me to do really well with this language, I need to get my OS concepts sorted out. I think if I can get some basic Compilers studies done as well, I think it will help immensely with the understanding of the language construct.
4. There are many companies doing great products using Go. Few of them I explored are Hashicorp, InfuxDB etc.
5. The one goal I have with this language is to be able to write serious projects and architect a design that is simple AF. I think there's lot of value in simplicity and I know I gravitate towards it naturally. What I lack is enough experience to build Software Systems independently or outside job like OSS. I think if I could spend some time doing independent projects, it can take me a long way.

Good luck.
