there’s two types of programmers:

- those who’ve worked with go fulltime for a few months

- those who haven’t

looking back at the go i wrote in my first weeks after dropping python, it is very different from the code i write now.

go is imperfect, but fantastic. hard to hold any other view without being in the latter category.

Can you say more about how your code changed?

i used to write code like this[1]. now i write code like this[2].

mostly what changed is the way i read code. if err != nil is a friend now, not the abomination i first thought it was.
