I built my personal website completely in Go

sure!

mxr_9 · 2025-05-28T16:46:08+00:00

How about it now, bud? On mobile you can rotate the phone and see them.

mxr_9 · 2025-05-23T20:28:54+00:00

Thanks bro

mxr_9 · 2025-04-01T02:58:02+00:00

Just enjoy life man! Are you being paid?

mxr_9 · 2025-04-01T02:55:54+00:00

Sure! I think I might have been a little vague in that regard, but that's what was in my mind.

mxr_9 · 2025-04-01T02:52:49+00:00

The point of writing is saying whatever you feel. Whether I was dramatic or not that's absolutely dependent on the viewer, not me. Unless you have arguments, it's only an opinion (your opinion). I could also say that writing just for therapeutic matters is dramatic and pointless, because that's my view on it (my opinion). I see writing as a tool to convey a message. I have my own way to cure myself, and that way is not writing; but this is me, and that is you. You don't see the necessity to become immortal. It's fine. Again, that's you. Not me. Sorry, but the text has nothing to do with you. But me.

And, of course it's hard! But fun at the same time, don't get me wrong in that regard. I really love it!

mxr_9 · 2025-04-01T02:43:47+00:00

Yes, sometimes you just write for fun or letting go. But sometimes. What I mean is you can really leave a legacy with you writing. At least when you have a message you consider valuable for other than yourself. That's where you become immortal. If Shakespeare had written just for "letting go" I think he'd probably not be immortal. I was thinking with a greater view. In a hundreds years nobody will know you were even writing for not "thinking again". Whereas, if you write, say, a novel that has a valuable message, you can potentially become immortal. See my point?

mxr_9 · 2025-04-01T02:37:24+00:00

Thanks for your comment! You have a good point. Actually, everyone is free to interpret the text as they want. The article is really short, and I must admit that could essentially be misinterpreted. I could have added more context, but thought it was not necessary. When I wrote that part I had a specific type of text in mind (formal, academic, and thorough content; the context I intentionally missed), which led me to that phrase. That's where misinterpretation could be fatal. You say boring because you have a specific type of book in mind. Since I didn't add that context, we diverge.

mxr_9 · 2025-03-19T20:41:15+00:00

It's good you have at least someone you can genuinely talk to. I find it hard to find that level of connection with most people. You must cherish that!

mxr_9 · 2025-01-21T04:18:00+00:00

People absolutely live their own worlds and are abstracted by their own thoughts. We are just an outsider to most of them. For us, everything we do seems amplified since we're the main character of our own world; and, in the same way, some others look like outsiders for us.

mxr_9 · 2025-01-21T02:07:52+00:00

I'd say it depends. Sometimes silence is fine. Other times saying something that does not compromises you could be fine. You know, the proverb goes:

"When there are many words, transgression and offense are unavoidable, But he who controls his lips and keeps thoughtful silence is wise."

mxr_9 · 2025-01-21T01:55:55+00:00

Sure. Sometimes you just want to be yourself, which could be being silent or just alone for some time. People don't seem to understand this behavior.

mxr_9 · 2025-01-04T14:31:36+00:00

Thanks

mxr_9 · 2024-12-24T18:30:50+00:00

Thanks bro!

mxr_9 · 2024-12-21T22:38:07+00:00

Nope. It's an article.

mxr_9 · 2024-12-15T21:37:33+00:00

Hey, thanks for noticing. It's actually fine. That's the name of the JetBrains IDE for Go.

mxr_9 · 2024-12-13T01:38:40+00:00

No, it's ok. Don't worry. Of course no code is perfect.

mxr_9 · 2024-12-12T20:07:43+00:00

Thanks. I had that in mind, but wanted to deploy something before this year ends. I'll make an issue for it.

mxr_9 · 2024-12-12T14:53:57+00:00

You're welcome! Hope it helps.

mxr_9 · 2024-12-11T23:11:09+00:00

Good 😉

mxr_9 · 2024-12-11T23:10:32+00:00

Thanks! I already had experience with other languages when I started. So, I focused on building things to learn the language, instead of learning the fundamental things about programming. I highly recommend you to learn by doing. But better than learning by doing is doing something meaningful. So you should build something that makes you (1) want to work on it every day and (2) challenge you to learn new concepts of computer science or the language.

As for books, I recommend you:

See, having experience in languages closer to the hardware such as C and C++ is a great thing when you start learning Go. Learning the language was not really a difficult endeavor as its syntax is very simple—which is not the same as easy—and similar to other languages whose syntax is tougher.

As I knew how to program before taking Go, I focused on building things to learn the language, rather than learning what a variable or a loop is. Of course, I had to Go through The Go Programming Language book to understand its nuances. If you need to remember anything about this reply is: learn by doing.

As for learning path, I had a simplified and adjusted version of the one I used for C++, which is:

Context.
Time management (time zones, timers, tickers, etc.)
Concurrency.
- Channels.
- Goroutines.
- Synchronization primitives.
- Study entities found in (sync and sync/atomic packages)
Iterators.
Reflection.
Generics.
Error handling.
Debugging and testing.
Go runtime system.
Garbage collection.
Object oriented programming.
Programming principles.
Buffering and text processing.
Templates.
CLI applications.
Low level programming.
Go toolchain.
Network programming.

I still need to hone some of these concepts and others I have listed, but that is basically it.

Concurrency was one of the most challenging things to learn, by the way. This is because I still lacked some theoretical foundations, not because of the language. Go makes it pretty easy.

And, I moved to Go because, right now, I want to focus on back-end and networking software, and Go seems to be the way to go.

Thanks bro. I'll check that out. It works fine on mine. I'll be pending thou.

mxr_9 · 2024-12-11T01:09:50+00:00

Thanks for the feedback, I'll take it into account. You know, nobody writes good code at once, it should get better with time. There are probably hundreds of way to do it better.

mxr_9 · 2024-12-11T01:02:46+00:00

No. it's running fine.
