Rejoice. I’ve installed Arch on my home PC a few days ago. Haven’t booted Windows since.

That boils down to maps. With a few helper functions it’s not a big deal. I can’t remember when I needed to unmarshal JSON into map last time, tho.

I’ve already made this choice. Switched from C++ to Go, and now I never want to touch another language at all. Since I’m not writing kernels or embedded, Go is pretty fast for everything else. Not very popular in gamedev, but that’s just a lack of 3rd party libs, specifically native graphics support.

As for other languages, I can’t justify unnecessary complexity that is generally welcome by those language communities. Go is straight simple yet powerful, and I admire that.

At least it doesn’t start with sudo, lol.

I’m around 20 years Linux user and I’m still installing various soft by curl bashing a script from their site.
