From JS to Go
summary
Compares specific JavaScript idioms to their Go equivalents, demonstrates a small API/CLI built with the Go toolchain (go build, go test, go fmt and go vet), and shows dependency and project setup using dep and Cobra. Emphasizes Go’s error-return style vs exceptions, goroutines/channels for concurrency, GORM for DB access, static cross-compiled binaries and a Docker image shrinking from 700MB to 6MB, and points to reading real projects like cilium to learn systems code.
