Go

Started learning Go, and it seems like a good compromise between something like C and something like Java or Python.

This article is useful for installing Go:

• Download go from the download page and install in /usr/local.
• add path to ~/.profile (if you're using bash):

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin

Or you can look at the official Go instructions:

Go Modules

You have to enable go module tracking in your own module:

go mod init your_module_name_here

This ends up creating a go.mode and go.sum, used to keep track of your current module, and the modules you use.

You can update the go.mod file by running:

go mod tidy

which will add/delete the module list based your source code.
