slowly getting back into #GtSDev after events n shit, actually managed to struggle through writing a whole bunch of Go code today https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/compare/this-instance-rules
every time I do Go stuff I feel like I'm doing soo much duplicate work, defining self-explanatory types all over the place, self-explanatory comments, weird footguns
@f0x it's a language intentionally hostile to abstraction: slightly better than C, on par with early 2000s Java, worse then damn near everything else
@f0x GtS is still easier to work with safely than most of the other Fedi server codebases, imo (i've got my fingerprints on half of them at this point) but in a brighter timeline, it would have been Rust, a modern JVM language, or maybe Swift 😐
