Oh yeah totally agree. I don't understand why someone would want to write `slices.Contains(s, needle)` when you can write this beautiful poem like a Shakespeare in VSCode:

    found := false
    for _, v := range s {
        if v == needle {
            found = true
            break
        }
    }

    if err != nil {
       return fmt.Errorf("my function name but in spaces: %w", err);
    }

> I love the error handling

Even if you prefer manually checking for errors after every call that might fail, I fail to see how one can love go’s verbosity. Compare go’s

   foo, err := bar()
   if err != nil {
     return ERR;
   }

  foo := bar() ||| return ERR;

100% with you on every point. It's the only language I've worked in that lets me read other codebases without an hour or two of "wut?" happening, so they did something right!

If generics were going to ruin the language, they would have by now. I think you can rest easy.

I love how during prototyping, the compiler will tell me off for having an unused variable and fail to compile. I totally love the idea of crashing when writing on a closed channel.

I do love the batteries included attitude. Having benchmarking included as well as a mechanism to run tests to check (test) for race-conditions right from the language/build tool is amazing.

My only wish is that go could become less verbose. There are several frontends to go that are more compact, compile down into golang, and then let you enjoy all the benefits.

It doesn't have a lot of style guides or linting though. You have to install and configure quite a lot of tooling for that

I visited that link three years ago. It isn't new. It's nifty, though.

It was mentioned in the Ruff article comments and probably reposted.

Yes, and I use them often in the context of writing adversarial ‘go vet’ style anti-slop analyzers that run pre-commit.

Someone in the thread about the Ruff update ingenuously said they wished Go had something like Ruff, being unaware of this framework. In that thread, someone seemed to take it as a sign that many people who might care to know about this don't yet, so they made a dedicated post for it.
