@schlink It's picky yep, but that's par for the course for statically typed languages (of which golang is imo one of the best!). For a more relaxed experience try ruby or perl :) or to a slightly less extent python or javascript (nodejs is surprisingly fast and low-memory-overhead).
@ttk yeah coming from Ruby/Javascript/some Python-- I knew what I was getting in to to some extent. I was just surprised that Go made me define not only that a func's input was an array but also its size.
What do you like about Go? I'm casually poking around for _something new_. Watching a Rust tutorial right now to get an idea of what it's all about.
