Have to start learning Go at work, any tips and/or tricks?
| I don't know what you want to know exactly. But if you work with php take a look on phpbrew. It's pretty useful.

Take a look at the title of the thread. I was working with PHP but now I have to switch to Go for whatever our next project will be. So I was wondering if there are some guidelines and/or tooltips to ease the transition.
| I don't know any Go, but am a PHP dev and I hate the language so god damn much, wish my boss told us to branch out a bit. Just enjoy learning Go.
| Quit your job, it's not worth it.

Well, I kinda like PHP, in all honesty. Especially with Laravel.

Is it really that bad? I kinda need the money, AND the experience.

PHP is bad as it's the very lowest paying language by far. It also suffers from bad design and tons of terrible programmers. GO is likely an upgrade in your career. My PHP webcucking is coming to an end soon as I'm going back to school.

| >>267050 I'm just messing around. All modern programming languages at useful to some degree of you spend enough time with them. Go is also super new.
| Go is actually a very nice language. It's stripped down relative to something like C++, which some people dislike, but that means its pretty easy to have a relatively deep understanding of the whole language. You're also likely to use 90+% of the language in any given program. The standard library is also mostly excellent in terms of both design and implementation. When starting out, would basically treat it as garbage collected C with very minor syntax changes. Also, use "go fmt".
| Php dev here, hate the fucking language, my boss loves it. At the job we could use a neural networks for a problem, l asked him to use some python for the job, he said that he couldn't find any libraries written in php...

You too huh? I know that feel. In my case it's simply my boss being too much behind the curve, or rather not having any time to explore better technologies.

| I'm a PHP dev but it seems like my boss wants us to branch out somewhat. Unfortunately I'm one of the people who need to learn Go and work with it. It looks rather bizarre, both C-like and at the same time nothing like C.
