Ask HN: The Future of Go-Lang?
Would you start a new project in Go? It seems the hype train has died on it (which isn't itself a bad thing), but would you consider it?
I'm thinking of starting a new project with it. It needs relatively high throughput (~20k transactions a second) but unsure if Go is a good choice. I like the simple syntax, low memory footprint and easy threading/routines.
- verdverm 7y agoGolang is here to stay. Look at the most significant projects out there, many are written in Go. It's a great language which I use daily and will continue to do so. What other choices are you considering?
- bt848 7y agoThe answer really depends on the nature of these transactions. For example if you can achieve the desired throughput with one thread that could change your decision.
- streetcat1 7y agoYes. It is the language of Kubernetes. And Kubernetes is the new OS.
