Hi everyone! I’m pretty experienced .NET (C#) developer (5yoe) who dabbled with JavaScript/Typescript and knows some Python.

I’m learning Go for fun and to expand my toolkit - reading Learning Go by Jon Bodner (it’s a great book) and coding small stuff.

I enjoy how tiny and fast (maybe “agile” is a better word) the language is. However quite a bit of stuff seems counterintuitive (e.g visibility by capitalization, working with arrays/slices, nil interfaces) - you just “have to know” / get used to it. It kind of irks me since I’m used to expressiveness of C#.

If there are .NET/C# devs on this sub - do you get used to it with time? Should I bear with it and embrace the uncomfortable? Or perhaps Go’s just not for people used to C#?

Cheers and thanks for answers!
