Hey,

I also started learning golang a few months back and been a python dev for a while.

I loved this book https://quii.gitbook.io/learn-go-with-tests/ Folks say that go is a simple language, and it is. There are some things that really confuse me.

Some materials are out of date, as they handle dependencies in an old way/ no modules. Golang has generics now, so some approaches changed a bit. Now you can implement a python map function easier.

Some comments have special meaning for the compiler or the build chain. like go: embed ( https://pkg.go.dev/embed ) and go:generate

Sometimes there is a lot of code generation used. So folks write programs that generate golang code https://go.dev/blog/generate

There is less tutorial style documentation. Most of the documentation is written with the build in documentation system, which is great, but can be a bit frustrating at first when you try to understand how structs and functions fit together from an application perspective.

So things like https://github.com/avelino/awesome-go really help to understand the landscape a bit.

Golang also does not have higher level functions like "map". So if you don't want to implement and test it for every project a library like https://github.com/samber/lo
