Concurrency is not parallelism

Before we begin, remember that parallelism and concurrency are different. This post is too small to deal with such a broad topic, however there are two resources I want to highlight:

In go you can consider a package as all the files contained in a directory and a module as a collection of packages. To use the code of a package we need to import it, however, in Go there are no relative module imports. Before Go 1.8, to import packages (there were no modules) it was necessary to use the absolute path, considering as base the path pointed to by the environment variable $GOPATH or. Since Go 1.11, the easiest way to work with packages is to use go mod. I will explain the latter.

As I already mentioned to you in the introduction to Golang or Go programming language , this language does not have a reserved word for dealing with classes, it still mimicks some behavior, we’re going to see how to handle golang inheritance, golang polymorphism and of course encapsulation.

In this entry I will briefly explain the basics of how golang runes, strings and bytes work in go, and even a little bit of utf-8 just to spice things up.

To explain the topic I will assume you know the basics of slices and data types in go, if you don’t know about these topics visit my array, slices in golang entry.

In the go programming language, a map or hash table is the equivalent of a dictionary; they have a key that is related to a value. The key and value can be of different data types, but all keys must be of a single type and all values must be of the same type.

In go or golang slices, arrays and maps are structures for handling data collections. In this entry I am going to talk about the first two: slices and arrays.

In this entry I am going to use data types, zero values, and other very basic aspects of go. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, visit my entry Golang: introduction to the language, variables and data types .

This entry will deal with loops in the go programming language.

Go handles loops a little differently than what you are used to. If you’re already fluent in any other programming language, you probably remember while, do while and for loops. And if you come from Python or Javascript, you’ll remember how useful for x in or for x of loops are.

This entry will discuss the basic syntax of Go functions. If you know absolutely nothing about go visit my entry go: introduction to programming language, variables and data types to start from the beginning of this tutorial series.

Now, let’s move on to the functions.

Functions in go

In go functions are declared by prefixing the word func to the function name. As follows:

Golang, also known as go, is a compiled programming language developed by Google. It is a language quite appreciated according to the latest Stackoverflow surveys (2023), as you can see in my python vs go post, where I also compare the good, the bad and the ugly of this language.

Go is used even in colossal projects, like the typescript compiler.
