Go for Impatient Devs

[@hartvenus]

Very nice to see all of these No Boilerplate-inspired content creators pushing out quick and quality content. Keep it up!

[@IsaacHarrisHolt]

Much obliged!

[@GoldenBeholden]

This is great. It's surprisingly difficult to find introductory content for people who are already experienced software engineers.

[@IsaacHarrisHolt]

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@sethjets4687]

Yes! This is what i always look for. You are a gem for the people who already code, every tutorial that i see is for absolute beginners and even leave important stuff out! Great content

[@IsaacHarrisHolt]

I'm glad you found it helpful!

[@_remblanc]

noticed a math error at 1:28: the result of subtracting -78 from 42 is 120, not -36

[@IsaacHarrisHolt]

You're right, I'm an eejit

[@gabriellevesque2185]

Did he just say "Go Please" for the "gopls" ? xD On another note, great video! Thanks :D

[@IsaacHarrisHolt]

That's how it's pronounced! It says so in the docs 👀 pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x/tools/gopls

[@keenoogodlike]

Short and Precise, love it.

[@IsaacHarrisHolt]

I hope you found it useful!

[@aus10d]

Great video. Thorough and concise. Much appreciated!

[@IsaacHarrisHolt]

I'm glad you found it useful!

[@TENNISMANIAC144]

Missed opportunity for a panic as the falsey statement in the subscribe switch statement

[@IsaacHarrisHolt]

Ah damnit!

[@JXQU3]

Great video! I was tired of having to go through what is a variable and a conditional every time I wanted to learn a new language.

[@IsaacHarrisHolt]

Thanks! I'll keep producing more 😉

[@thanepatrol]

I’m starting a new job that uses go in a few weeks. This was super handy to get me up and running! Subbed for more

[@IsaacHarrisHolt]

I'm glad it helped, and congrats on the new job!

[@gunarcom]

these videos are great, thank you

[@IsaacHarrisHolt]

Glad you enjoy them!

[@AK-vx4dy]

Nice distilled knowledge and funny images, good job !!!

[@IsaacHarrisHolt]

Thanks! Glad you liked it!

[@_MrKekovich]

I really like those tutorials where you expect me to know some other languages :D

[@IsaacHarrisHolt]

I'm glad! I mostly want to make content for people at my level, and this is the sort of stuff I like. A quick overview that I can come back to and reference if I need it

[@btotta]

Great video! The beauty of go is that with a video like this plus gobyexample, anyone who knows another programming language can be productive within a week. I wish I had learned first go than java or python kk

[@IsaacHarrisHolt]

Yeah, Go is great. I think it's fantastic as a second language for the reasons you've mentioned. I think it'd be a little strange if it's the first one you learned, though.

[@slowdeveloper]

This was really good, hope the algorithm blesses this!

[@IsaacHarrisHolt]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it

[@codeconcept]

Great video! A quick way to review Go concepts I don't use on a regular basis. Thanks Isaac :) I'll surely watch your "Python in 7 minutes" video too, as I haven't used Python in ages.

[@IsaacHarrisHolt]

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@Nerdimo]

5:05 I was confused here. When I was learning go using their tour of go page, they used a variables on interfaces to teach them which were allowed, why is this not allowed here?

[@IsaacHarrisHolt]

You definitely can't define variables on interfaces in Go. Afaik it's never been possible. I know you can in TypeScript, though. Go interfaces only let you define methods

[@Nerdimo]

You're correct, I think I got confused when I saw a struct implement an interface when it had a member variable in their tutorials. Thanks for the clarification. @@IsaacHarrisHolt

[@IsaacHarrisHolt]

No worries!

[@josephangelodelosreyes4206]

as an experience developer, i like this kind of new PL tutorial.

[@IsaacHarrisHolt]

I'm glad you enjoyed!

[@fazex4185]

This is exactly what I was looking for

[@IsaacHarrisHolt]

Great! I hope it was useful :)

[@azeek]

Well sir, you just earned my respect and sub❤

[@IsaacHarrisHolt]

Thank you!

[@Adityarm.08]

Very interesting, thank you.

[@IsaacHarrisHolt]

You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed the video

[@liu-river]

My goal is to understand everything you say in this video at the end of this year :D, and at your speed

[@IsaacHarrisHolt]

I wish you the best of luck! That's going to be tough, though. This video was meant to be fast-paced 😅 I'm not sure I'd be able to take it all in completely, and I wrote it!

[@liu-river]

@@IsaacHarrisHolt It does make you seem like some kind of Go god 😂

[@IsaacHarrisHolt]

Hahahaha I just do plenty of research!

[@4crafters597]

You wanna do Julia at some point? Massively underrepresented imo

[@IsaacHarrisHolt]

I'll consider it!

[@JustWatchingVideo56]

Same

[@muluk]

What VS-Code color theme is used in the examples here?

[@IsaacHarrisHolt]

The default dark modern, I believe :)

[@muluk]

Thanks!

[@oyindadavid254]

Is there any chance the job could be fully remote? I want to apply from Nigeria and I believe I have the necessary experience and dedication to join the team😊

[@IsaacHarrisHolt]

Unfortunately not, sorry! We find that onsite working is much better for the company stage we're at.

[@ktappdev]

only took me 2.5 mins to learn go at 2x speed

[@IsaacHarrisHolt]

I'm not sure the maths adds up there 🤔

[@nsing323]

The only thing I hate in Go is the implicit interfaces. I wish they were explicit, would have made things much easier I guess.

[@IsaacHarrisHolt]

I think I have to disagree here! By having implicit interfaces, you can build an interface that gets satisfied by a third party library you're using. For example, if you were working with payments, you might have a PaymentHandler interface that gets implicitly satisfied by both your own LocalPaymentHandler and a third party payment handler.

[@nsing323]

@@IsaacHarrisHolt I am actually a Swift Developer and I maybe wrong. I have only recently(2 months now) started working with Golang and maybe "hate" is a too strong word and I would rather say I feel uncomfortable using interfaces. However in Swift we have something very similar to the interfaces and they are called protocols and explicitly mentioning the protocol name along with classes or structures which forces you into errors unless you implement all of the required methods / variables. They're practically the same thing in both Golang and Swift but the concept is reversed that is having methods of an interface automatically conforms to the interface where as mentioning the protocols forces you into implementing all the required members of protocol. This does lets protocols to also give you the ability to have similar methods like your protocols(or interfaces) in a class/struct without essentially conforming to that protocol/interface. would like to hear your views on this

[@IsaacHarrisHolt]

I think it's much of a muchness, to be honest. Go will error if you try to use a struct somewhere when it doesn't implement an interface. I just think that not having to be explicit is much cleaner and more flexible

[@savire.ergheiz]

Go its not for the inpatient dev though 😂

[@IsaacHarrisHolt]

What makes you say that? I was able to be very productive in Go very quickly!

[@parlor3115]

More like go for non-existent devs

[@IsaacHarrisHolt]

Hahaha it's a bit fast paced! But you can use it as a reference :)
