A no bullshit way to Go

Name: Anonymous 2012-08-17 0:06

It has been suggested I should try out Go, it was someone on /prog/

Please share any intensely commented code you know of written in it. Or any documentation besides the tutorial, effective go, and the google tech talks which are all shit.

The only thing remotely useful is the reference manual but it suffers from the same issue: They describe everything as a concept not a function and the examples have context.

good you used the usual tactic of badmouthing the language and trying to encourage debating something else.

Now if someone were to respond to the topic that would be a really surprising turn of events! I don't care if it is the worst language ever, you understand me?
Just give me some useable free documentation.

OP, just don't use Go as it is not LISP and is thus complete shit, plus it's made by google so it's like a turd that shits crap.

I use forth for this kind of stuff, for being way more badass than lisp in every possible way.

Can we get back to Go please?

Effective Go and the tech talks are fine, OP.

You might consider reading about Plan 9 and CSP, however.

Do you have much prior programming experience? Perhaps Effective Go is too terse.

'fine', 'good enough'... but it can still be shit.

Variables are declared with the var keyword, followed by the variable name, and finally by the type. The existence of a specific keyword for variable declarations makes it easy to differentiate them from other types of statements.

consider this sentence, it is not in effective go and there is no equivalent to it. That might seem not really problematic but the same practice is kept for non-trivial things too.

Approximately half of that sentence is useless. It can be reduced to:
Variables are declared with the var keyword followed by the variable name its type.

That's not the point. It's missing.

You can use Javascript as a shell scripting language on Windows:

You should also read the spec. It's quite readable and contains everything about the language.

Go's designers said it feels like a dynamically typed language. What they didn't tell you is that they were talking about the speed!

ONE WORD FORCED CAPITALIZATION OF THE PUBLIC VARIABLES THREAD OVER

Name: Anonymous 2012-08-21 18:55

>>61
Seriously, how can /prague/ be so hostile towards force indentation, which is practical, yet completely accepting of the fact that Go forced you to capitalize variables, which nobody in their right mind does in any other programming language?

Name: Anonymous 2012-08-21 18:59

>>62
This is especially troublesome giving that Go pride itself on being 100% UTF-8 compliant, yet you can't even have a Korean variable because there's no way to capitalize it.

FYI I came across some free documentation which is actually usable

http://www.miek.nl/files/go/

Was on the cat-v site, I don't know maybe that's just me but I need documents to tell me exactly what is going on instead of just a sparse description when learning something new.
Maybe that is helpful for somebody.

I learned something from this thread to: even if this is the most popular programming board among the chans it seems generally better to post on some other chan. Sadly that even has become some universal truth.

I'm so sorry to read about your ineptitude. As a mental midget, pPerhaps you'd be more suited to scrubbing toilets.
