The stdlib I actually find quite complete. Especially for http projects. You really don’t need third party libs for that for example.

The errors were super strange to me at the start, but I’ve come to really like it over exceptions. It is similar to old error codes, but I feel that this makes one always have to be mindful of error handling and the non happy path (thinking of large Python projects where no one cares about exceptions).

A lot of people tend to compare Go and Rust, but I feel that the languages are just too different. Rust is good for a variety of things which don’t overlap with the things Go is good for.

Using git grep os one of the most practical things I do. Whether to look for definitions, usages, or getting a list or overview of endpoints on an api, I use it for all. It’s ubiquitous, works everywhere.

Yes, other tools exist that give you this information in a clear way. But the practicality of grep is amazing.
