Go 1.17 Beta
As a developer I continue to be extremely happy with the Go language and the Go tools. Over the past 5 years Go has almost entirely replaced my use of C and C++. My Go programs (e.g., <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;NN-512.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;NN-512.com</a>) are reliable, run fast, build fast, require no shared libraries, and have airtight error handling. Unfortunately, C++ is still necessary for my commercial work and I am amused daily by the absurd complexity and clumsiness of expression, slow builds, dynamic linkage problems across Linux releases, etc.
