Go 1.17 Release Notes
At first I didn't like Go because I thought it was too opinionated. But the more I used it, the more I found the tooling to be just heads and shoulders above similar languages like C/C++.<p>I use VSCode a lot, and in VSCode you can press "F12" to jump to the location of a function definition. In Go I find myself deep diving into github libraries all the time just because F12 takes me there. That <i>never</i> happened with C/C++ - the tooling was just too disparate and fragile.<p>My biggest complaint with Go is lack of generics. I mean technically you can achieve generics with an unholy empty interface/reflection incantation but it's a huge pain compared to C++.
