yyrkoon 250 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 "The Go Programming Language", was coauthored by Brian Kernighan (also of Bell Labs and the 'k' in the AWK utility under Unix). These guys pretty much know what they're doing. Anyway enough threadjacking @@spirilis Funny you say "the K in AWK" because most people know him as the K in K&R But to be honest, I'm, not a big fan of the book . . . because by the time I figured out much of C, K&R code looked so trivial / basic that it couldn't keep my interest. spirilis 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yyrkoon 250 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 @@spirilis So I picked up that book for go lang you mentioned above. Partly because of what you said here. But also very recently I talked with another developer for the project I've been writting test software for lately. Who pretty much started out in C exactly how I did gamedev, and reading Andre Lamothe's programming books . . . but anyhow he is writing the functional application code for this same project using GO . . . So now, I'm forced to read this book on a new object oriented language that uses no classes, inheritance . . . etc heh. Sounds interesting so far !

Yeah Go really goes about it a bit differently, the "implicitly satisfied interfaces" becomes your rough method of inheritance and class-ishness I guess. It's working well enough for me so far. yyrkoon 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
