Summary

A project to understand some parts of golang's philosophy

---

Prereqisite

1. Install Golang link

---

Run

1. go run . under the repo root folder

Review

Pros

1. Static datatype that we can get information when compiling.
2. Nice interface to spin up Goroutine.
3. Feel easy to understand how to write and run go programs.
4. Pointer and reference.
5. In some parts it smells cleaner

Cons

1. Feel something weird about fmt library, like Scanf will pipe string back to stdin which might cause issues.
2. Controversial error handling. I feel good to be able to explicitly know the error message but I need to bypass the errors by several if or switch statements to handle each case which feels a little bit too much.

Conceptually designed

1. No function overloading and user defined operators.
2. No Generics

---

TODO

1. Kinda wondering the performance on CPU, RAM, compile time, process time between c++ and go.
2. Guess I need to defined my onw UserDataPrintln to print the format of the struct I want since golang doesn't want me to overload
