• Go is a language stuck in the 70’s.
• Go ignores 40 years of programming language research.
• Go is a language for blue collar (mediocre) developers.
• Gophers are ok with working in Java 1.0. 

A Tour of Go (golang) for the C# Developer

Learning other programming languages enhances our work in our primary language. From the perspective of a C# developer, the Go language (golang) has many interesting ideas. Go is opinionated on some things (such as where curly braces go and what items are capitalized). Declaring an unused variable causes a compile failure; the use of "blank identifiers" (or "discards" in C#) are common. Concurrency is baked right in to the language through goroutines and channels. Programming by exception is discouraged; it's actually called a "panic" in Go. Instead, errors are treated as states to be handled like any other data state. We'll explore these features (and others) by building an application that uses concurrent operations to get data from a service. These ideas make us think about the way we program and how we can improve our day-to-day work (in C# or elsewhere).

Bjarne Stroustrup Defends C++ As Safe 

NSA advises organizations to consider making a strategic shift from programming languages that provide little or no inherent memory protection, such as C/C++, to a memory safe language when possible. Some examples of memory safe languages are C#, Go, Java, Ruby™, and Swift®.

Julia is used for a lot of deeply technical applications like Machine Learning and Data Science. But as a general-purpose programming language, Julia can also be used for things like building websites and interactive visualizations. In this article, we will go over 5 Julia packages that can be used to create desktop GUI’s or web applications.

Go, also referred to as Golang is a program created by Google. It was designed by Ken Thompson, Rob Pike, and Robert Griesmer. Golang is one of the most rapidly growing languages in terms of popularity. Ken Thompson, Rob Pike, and Robert Griesmer created Go Language to be a language that has numerous cores, implements concurrency easily, works smoothly in a distributed environment and allows the programmer to write programs without too much hustle. Go language also has a lean and user-friendly syntax.
