I have written a _lot_ of business logic in go, and I can say that imo it is a superb language for doing so. Vastly better than C, and I’m coming around to it being better even than my beloved python.


I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on why Go might be better than Python for business logic.


Mainly that it’s just so aggressively boring (which I love). No exceptions means you have to deal with your errors all the time, and it’s just generally very easy, when dropped into a random spot in the code, to figure out what’s happening. Very little magic.


Thanks
