Ask HN: What's the big deal with Go (Golang)?

• related_post_gen

  15 274 9.9 C++

  Data Processing benchmark featuring Rust, Go, Swift, Zig, Julia etc.

Easy concurrency.

ps: I wrote a data processing benchmark[1] and go is currently leading the charts. I ported it to c++ but it's not performing as expected. Take a look if you have the time.

  A fast TCP/UDP tunnel over HTTP

I love it in the context of hacking actually. When working on HackTheBox machines or other CTFs you sometimes need to deploy tools onto the machine like these:

• WorkOS

  workos.com sponsored

  The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  

• pspy

  8 4,510 0.0 Go

  Monitor linux processes without root permissions

When you deploy them they just work. Compare that to compiled C++ code you often face issues with the deployment in my experience. And production machines usually do not ship compilers.
