Discussion on: Learn a New Language: Ruby or Go?

[Antonio Djigo]

For Rails, there is:

• Better CLI & standardised framework
• Code practices and design patterns are more standardised
• Bigger community = More Q&A around google to fix your problems
• More guides and courses to learn everything properly

I'm not saying Go does not have this, but, for sure these points are not as good as in Rails.

• Basically almost everything is standardized – HTTP routes, SQL databases, templates etc. Go CLI... I don't understand what's difficult in go run server.go

• There is an official style guide, and tutorials how to do best practises

• Community is very huge in Golang. There are tons of packages and a ton of stackoverflow questions

• There's Go Tour, Go Docs, and Go Tutorial. All of them are official. I don't understand what problem is here.
