Don't recruit golang

As a developer, everyone knows that it is necessary to choose a programming language as your expertise, and choosing which programming language requires weighing various factors. Among various programming languages, golang has received more and more attention in recent years, but personally, I may not choose it as my expertise.

Why do you say that? First of all, I think golang's syntax is relatively redundant and not simple enough to write, which makes development efficiency relatively low. In comparison, other programming languages ​​such as Python, Ruby, etc. are simpler and clearer, more in line with user-friendly design, easier for developers to get started, and easier to write. If time is of the essence, then I wouldn't choose golang.

Secondly, the golang community is not yet complete and mature enough. Compared with some other popular programming languages, golang’s tools and technical support are not that rich. When I need to find support and help, I think it will be easier for me to find answers in other communities, and there are many better and newer tools and techniques available in those communities.

Furthermore, I found that golang’s running speed cannot completely make up for its other shortcomings. Of course, as a developer, performance is critical, but I think it's more important to focus on user experience than pure speed. In some cases, I would rather write a slower application in another programming language if it was more prominent in improving the user experience.

Finally, although golang is a very promising programming language, in some cases, it is also very important to choose a popular programming language. When we collaborate with other developers or need to attract more developers, popular programming languages ​​tend to attract better talent more easily.

In general, although golang has some excellent features, for me, my needs are more suitable for some other programming languages, which means that I will not choose golang as my expertise. Of course, this does not mean that golang is not an excellent programming language, but because I am more suitable for other programming languages ​​and more valuable to other developers.
