Just a tiny tip since I hear you saying "Golang": I remember seeing a video from Rob Pike, and in the Q/A section, someone asked a question saying "in golang blah blah", and Rob Pike was almost offended, and he said "It's called Go, not Golang". One thing that they say and I personally do it myself: "the name of it is Go, but use Golang when searching the internet because it gives more relevant results"

He swivels around in his desk chair with a devilish gleam in his eyes, ready to mansplain with extreme precision. "Actually", he says with a grin, "Linux is just the kernel. You use GNU+Linux!' I don't miss a beat and reply with a smirk, "I use Alpine, a distro that doesn't include the GNU Coreutils, or any other GNU code. It's Linux, but it's not GNU+Linux." The smile quickly drops from the man's face. His body begins convulsing and he foams at the mouth and drops to the floor with a sickly thud. As he writhes around he screams "I-IT WAS COMPILED WITH GCC! THAT MEANS IT'S STILL GNU!" Coolly, I reply "If windows were compiled with GCC, would that make it GNU?" I interrupt his response with "-and work is being made on the kernel to make it more compiler-agnostic. Even if you were correct, you won't be for long." With a sickly wheeze, the last of the man's life is ejected from his body. He lies on the floor, cold and limp. I've womansplained him to death.

When we write code, it is suppose to work exactly according to the logic we write. I understand if it could lost performance to bit slow down program processing if it really need to garbage collector. Refer to trading algorithm section: Golang has garbage collector build in and may "introduce undeterministic factor". Is there any other issue to beware in term of "undeterministic factor" in any other case? Also, if it really happen, it would also impact other types of program as well, isn't it?

[@oizy1760]

@@user-kg2qn8se4h Like I said, if you're looking for standard Go project structure, MVC is incorrect. Unless you are developing a web application or website then that's when using MVC is necessary in Go, or for any language for that matter. Standard Go Project Structure != MVC Stack

[@oizy1760]

@@user-kg2qn8se4h The structure for other applications is dependent and there's no set way, but Go has explicit handling for certain folders in your project for set purposes. i.e "pkg" folder is for internal access to your code only, not external. This is useful for people who write web apps and API's and need to limit the scope for the end-user. The structure for other application depends on the application, so that's not a question I can answer quickly. My point is, I was saying don't use MVC structure for all of your Go projects. If you're not writing a web app or using a framework that uses/needs MVC there's no need to use it. For instance, writing a Discord bot in GoLang, you wouldn't setup the project to use MVC for the Bot because it has nothing to do with MVC.
