Go for Java Developers
summary
Direct comparisons to Java: concrete rules for collections (arrays vs slices as windowed views), stream-like transforms implemented with functions, and package/module layout using go mod (examples show go mod init and GitHub-style module paths). Covers Go 1.13 error style and error-last multiple returns, pointers versus values, rune vs byte for Unicode, tools like gofmt, linters, Cobra for CLIs, and editors (VS Code vs GoLand). Labs and OSS examples demonstrate idiomatic layouts (cmd, pkg, internal) and cross-compilation.
