Go 1.16.3

This is a repository where I explore Go!

Syntax

• PascalCase is for exported (public) functions, and camelCase for private. (Documentation)

• := declares a new inferred type

• type declaration is reversed as from C#

• No need for parentheses in if statements

• No need for semicolon at end of variables etc. unless it's

  Go functions:

  func function(i int) {
      // code goes here
  }

  C# methods:

  void Method(int i)
  {
      // code goes here
  }

misc

First google result on term 'go semicolon' yielded possibly one of the earliest questions about Go on stackoverflow, datet 2 days after first official announcement (November 12th, 2009)

• StackOverflow outdated question about semicolon placement
  • This is what I was looking for - *golang.org | docs/effective_go#semicolons
