    I think with errors, there are three types: user errors (user enters an incorrect input), programmer errors (your algorithm is wrong) and enviroment errors (lost internet connection).

    I suppose it goes to show that every language has a reason it exists to begin with and sometimes you only realise it by diving deep enough. Or do a project different from your usual projects. Obviously some languages are just part of histort now or never really succeeded in why they were trying to do so there's also just better options for the same thing.

    I really want to like GoLang. I really do.
    My issue with it was I was trying to create an API that did some light computing on the data that it received and I kept running out of core memory for the application. No matter how I increased the memory for the stack, it would not behave after running the computation.
    Writing a similar API endpoint in nodejs with express was:
    1. Computed faster,
    2. Could be rerun without issues,
    3. Used less memory.
    I understand that I could've been doing something completely wrong with the ingested data (I was creating new objects for all 10k items in a JSON array) and I was doing this blind.

      The answer is: there probably is no reason.

      It would be perfectly reasonable to save once you completed some kind of function implementation etc., but I just perma :w.
      I mean, when you watch the way he codes, it's all just immediate conversion of thoughts into texts so that he probably also saves in this reactionary way.

    crashing works great in a container/orchestrator environment. but when it hits baremetal/VMs, then the IT/ops overhead starts to take its toll. then you need monitoring set in place, logging setup (or deployed, depending on how much your employer is willing to spend on it), etc. Crashing would then suck in prod, but it would make the noc team take their job more seriously... or rather they will no longer be bored at seeing a green board majority of the time XD

    10:45 In face the guidance is that you should panic when the entire program is in an invalid state. Go panics if you try to access element 21 of a 5 element slice. That is an invalid operation and the assumption is that your logic is wrong. Likewise, as you say... when you unreachables have been reached then something is very wrong and very likely the best thing is to just dump the current state to a log and bail out. Essentially what Windows does with a BSOD. No time to figure out if this is somehow legit. This should not happen so pull the plug.

    Having done a couple of years in go I have to say, there being no way to declare that a struct should implement an interface is up there with no enums as the most annoying traits of Go. Fixing it wouldn't even have to be a breaking change just give us a way to pin a struct to an interface for goodness sake. Even if it was just some absolute hack like using comments inside the string that would be better than nothing.

    • @diego.almeida

  • @conundrum2u
    @conundrum2u Před měsícem +2

    the tendency to do duck typing leads to an object doing all of the things. it leads to functions that are hundreds of lines that have a ton of side effects. the only advantage is that composition leads to excellent flexibility when refactoring. go's creators emphasizing that interfaces should be small is excellent architecture, but you can do that in most if not all strongly typed languages. strongly typed interfaces lead to your realizing that incorporating too many interfaces means the object is doing too much. of course if you're more senior you're going to have a lot of this worked out and you won't make as many of the above pitfalls, but when the possibility exists to "oh just one more thing" it will happen

  • @user-uf4rx5ih3v

    The problem with Go for me is that it's very repetitive and its interface features are not really that great. You also don't get pattern matching or tagged unions and the error handling paradigm is kinda bad. There are just a lot of small things about it that don't really do it for me. Google's involvement in the project is not reassuring.
    While no language is perfect, I think it might be interesting if we had a language that's basically Rust, but garbage collected and maybe with a more extensive type system. You could argue that's Haskell or Ocamle but those languages just don't value reproducibility and backwards compatibility enough. If they had more of a backing from industry they would be a lot more enticing.

    you can just print that and that feature have problems in a window and let the user try again,(and save) and in many cases stuff can work any way, so try to give the user the UX. and just killing the app is not that.

      "In Go, the zero value is the default value assigned to a variable of a given type when it is declared without an explicit initialization. The zero value depends on the type of the variable. For reference types, like pointers, slices, maps, channels, and interfaces, the zero value is nil" - That is why it's called nil and not null, because it's essentially the zero value.

      This isn’t how this works, you can’t compare a struct instance to nil in the first place it won’t compile, but even if you changed it to &Weather{}, t==nil would be false.
