http://golangnews.com Jobs, Code, Videos and News for Go hackers - everything about the go programming language Fri, 30 Jun 2017 05:40:00 +0000 <p>As an enthusiastic C++ developer, and a Java developer, I’m not a big fan of the overall language. It seems like an incremental improvement on C, and I’d rather use it than C, but I still yearn for the expressiveness of C++. I also suspect that Go cannot achieve the raw performance of C or C++ due to its safety features, though that maybe depends on compiler optimization. But it’s perfectly valid to knowingly choose safety over performance, particularly if you get more safety and more performance than with Java.</p> 6 points posted by gopher https://www.murrayc.com/permalink/2017/06/26/a-c-developer-looks-at-go-the-programming-language-part-1-simple-features 2352 Wed, 28 Jun 2017 08:02:00 +0000
