Develop in Go

All work on IO, websites, and command-line tools is being done in Go.

Pros

#

• Familiarity: I’ve been using Go since 2014.
• Ecosystem: many powerful components are available and relatively easy to integrate.
  • Cobra
  • gRPC
  • Buf Connect
  • Bubble Tea
  • SQLite support
• Go’s module system makes dependencies clear.
• Go’s automatic memory management and concurrency support make it easy to build tools like IO.
• Go can build static binaries, which are easy to distribute.

Cons

#

• Go is slower for some things
• Go’s runtime is big and heavy, so it doesn’t integrate well with other languages
