## Why Gemini?

I've decided to move my personal websites, along with some other projects, over to the Gemini protocol for a number of reasons (in no specific order):


	
Gemini-based capsules are easy to maintain
	
Gemini-based capsules are fun to maintain!
	
The Gemini capsule limits tracking by design
	
The primary Gemini text format provides no way to display intrusive ads of any kind, or any other unneeded fluff and annoyances
	
The community is awesome. I love seeing the motivation and movement behind this project. There's such passion.
	
The development-sphere: The Gemini development community is huge for how small the project itself is, and I'm glad to be a part of it.

To kick it off: Go is funny language. I have a hard time taking it seriously, and that's not because of the name, but because of the way it "feels". Don't get me wrong, Go is a **great** tool to have under your belt, but it just feels very ... "childish" ... to **me**.

Other than the chills I get whilst working with it, I think Go is a pretty nifty language, and I'm sure you'll pick up on that further down in this blog post. If anything, the above statements were icebreakers, but also my genuine feelings. :=

Go has the "I can do anything! just not very well ..." [0] feeling to it, and that is very much true! I don't write software in Go because it's "blazing fast!" or "great on memory!". I write software in Go because it's "fast!" to write in.

> [0] Having the aforementioned quality is not particularly a bad thing, I think it actually benefits Go!

Now, here are some pros and cons that I have gathered up during my experience with the language:

These are in no particular order, and solely **my** opinions.

## Pros

Reasons for anyone to learn or to use Go!


	
Fast enough: Go isn't Rust fast, but it's not Node.js slow.
	
There are **lots** of resources. (books, documentation, libraries, tutorials, et cetera)
	
It's quite easy to pick up. (having had prior experience with C-like programming languages)
	
Go can do just about anything you pin at it.
	
It runs on Plan 9!


## Cons

Nitpicks, not deal-breakers!


	
Garbage collected: This isn't necessarily a hard-con, but it contributes to more memory overhead that I'd prefer not to waste. (not as much as Node.js, though)
	
Go can feel *too* simple stupid at times, and not in a KISS way.
	
The dependency management and "package manager" is downright creepy: `$ go get ...` seems extremely pre-mature and underdeveloped, even many years into Go's life


One thing you might see a lot when there is talk about Go is the claim that Go hasn't "found it's niche" or "it has no real purpose". To that I say: Go's niche is its simplicity, its ability to introduce someone into the compiled language space, and to develop software with speed.

## Who Would I Recommend Go To?

People who ...


	
don't have much time for boilerplate material,
	
people who want to get their foot into the lower-level side of programming, (or compiled languages)


and dare I say it ... anyone!
