What is wrong with e.g. gobyexample or the official docs?

#

i don't get it sorry wdym wrong with gobyexample um nothing is necessarily wrong? I just don't feel confident in my ability?

#

https://gobyexample.com/

#

Go has good docs, gobyexample is a good extension to these docs

oh didn't know this existed my bad i meant something else

#

Usually you learn Syntax + common patterns of an language to get started in the most idiomatic way

#

i just wanted to know how people's thought process is when they try to make stuff in go cuz somehow it wasn't working out for me

#

you need to ask an specific question, to get an specific answer

#

everybody could learn things in a different way, or already has knowledge by another programming language

i do have? i have learnt a lot of languages like C,C++, java and somehow i never ran into an issue with those but here wasn't able to get that click so asked

#

I mean, you know e.g. how to solve your issue in C/C++/Java, so it should be easy to learn how something similar could be done with Go

crisp widget Jan 31, 2026, 7:02 PM

#

eh thats where im stuck, it should by all means be easy and i have never really had trouble with learning new languages or building in them but when it comes to Go (or Rust additionally), I have been struggling lately

#

ok, kindly: I am asking for specific questions / detailed issues, and all you provide is some kind of meta stuff

#

C for example should be that hard in Go, except for channels and goroutines (on a very high level)

#

C++ is a very complex language, but you have issues in Go, which is a comparable simple language

crisp widget Jan 31, 2026, 7:07 PM

#

true its simpler so i want to know How people approach their own go projects and stuff and learn about other effective ways to work with the language by comparing with my procedure in doing things versus how others do it.

Sorry for the meta stuff as you said, i am genuinly just a beginner trying to figure this out. Once again sorry.

ok 🤷‍♂️

#

why do you want to learn the language?
because what you describe fits general lack of motivation
