Go Why use it for building web application? @sebasporto
Comparing it to languages I use and love Ruby JavaScript
To start with + Lightweight + Relatively easy to learn
+ Familiar
It is fast
Bubble sort benchmark # ruby bubble.call([2, 10, 1, 9, 5,
6, 8, 3, 7, 4]) // JS bubble([2, 10, 1, 9, 5, 6, 8, 3, 7, 4]); // Go arr := []int{2, 10, 1, 9, 5, 6, 8, 3, 7, 4} bubble(arr) Code here
It is fast! 190x faster than Ruby
Concurrency as core feature
Concurrency - Parallel requests
None
Concurrency - Parallel requests Ruby Mutex and Threads :( EventMachine
:(
Concurrency - Parallel requests Node.js var defX = Q.defer(); var
defY = Q.defer(); var oneAndTwo = Q .all([defX.promise, defY.promise]) .then(processConcat); requestValue('/x', defX); requestValue('/y', defY);
Concurrency - Parallel requests Go var cx chan string =
make(chan string) var cy chan string = make(chan string) go requestValue("/x", cx) go requestValue("/y", cy) x := <-‐cx y := <-‐cy processConcat(x, y)
Efficient memory usage
# Run benchmark ab -‐n 10000 -‐c 100 http://127.0.0.1:8100/ Node.js
FATAL ERROR: (...) process out of memory Go Time taken for tests: 20.689 seconds Complete requests: 10000 # No problems
Rich standard library + Http + Templating + JSON
Static typing (+ IMO) + More robust + Easier to
refactor + Less tests + Compiler can go crazy with optimisations + Still flexible (with interfaces) + No ceremony
Compiled But ultra fast
Single binary + Compile and deploy + No need to
worry about dependencies, e.g. NPM modules, RubyGems
A lot more + Simple and flexible object system -
composition + Functions as first class + Closures + Standard formating of source code
It is great alternative Try it!
Thanks @sebasporto
