Go Learning

So this will be my first time at writing some go. Please excuse me for the ranting 😅

WTFs

• Why is there no bitwise OR for bools?! Please what? XOR == a != b, but still...
• math.Max() only works with floats. Of course.
• so apparently we don't have optional parameters and defaults. Lol
• go has maps, but no native way of getting keys or values without a loop

Syntax

• we constantly need to write := which is annoying as hell
