| | Recently I've been writing a fair bit of code in Go for a project I am working on. There is a lot to like about the language. But the thought occurred to me that maybe I like Go because it fits my (unjustifiably) beleaguered sense of self. If I used to like Ruby because it was fun, then maybe I like Go now for these reasons: Go is a minimalist language. I would prefer that we just get down to work without any fuss. Go is a high performance language for concurrency. There is too much to do and it all has to be done at once, so I guess we better do it quickly. Go is strongly typed. Please tell me what you expect up front, then stick to it. Go makes you check for errors explicitly (if err != nil). Bad things will inevitably happen, so I guess we better plan for them up front and do our best to deal with them.

| | I heard a lot of good things about Mike Okasaki's Purely Functional Data Structures at UChicago, but didn't ever take the time to check it out. Lately I've missed the heady joy of reading and writing code in a strongly typed functional programming language like Standard ML, so when one of my coworkers at Knewton mentioned he was going to read the book I decided to get a copy for myself.
