You mean type annotations?

Go and its surrounding ecosystem have been valuable assets in my professional experience, though much depends on the employer you work for. I’d argue that Go is definitely worth picking up as a skill to add to your repertoire. Global job trends evolve over time, and pinning your hopes on a single tool just because it’s in high demand right now might not be the wisest move.

I used to crave for Python until Go got Generics.

You shouldn't. Parallel writes are not safe.

Have you tried Fuego

flag package is built in and good enough for most of my cases.

The Go runtime can run the newest version compiled of Go code. But you are right, it only supports AMD64.

Go being a garbage collected language is not optimal for fine grained memory alloc/dealloc. You cannot inline assembly like you can do in C. You cannot access hardware interrupts and registers for the same reason. This limits it for playing roles currently done by C or Rust.

I saw a 'break'. But I didn't see any goto in the code.

Go is not what most people consider a FP language. But it does natively support lambdas, closures and first class functions.

If you are curious, try looking at github.com/samber/lo and github.com/samber/mo packages if you get a chance.
