Go for Python Programmers

Explore a side-by-side comparison of Go and Python in this 31-minute conference talk from EuroPython 2016. Dive into Go's history, syntax, semantics, and tools, contrasting them with Python's counterparts. Gain a high-level understanding of Go's language features, including variable declaration, data types, functions, error handling, and concurrency concepts like goroutines and channels. Learn about Go's approach to object-oriented programming, struct embedding, and interfaces. Discover the ecosystem and tools available for both languages, covering testing, code formatting, package management, and documentation generation. By the end of this talk, acquire a solid foundation to understand Go's core concepts and how they relate to Python programming.
