Is it worth learning GoLang along with learning algorithms?

Question

go

Hello!
I work with PHP/Symfony, I had a desire to learn a completely different paradigm and algorithms for general development. I thought about this - is it worth choosing GoLang for this? What do you think?

Answer 1

Go doesn't fit the role of a "completely different paradigm" language. If you want such a language, look towards Haskell, Clojure, Lisp.
Go fits the role of a language with non-standard OOP and non-standard work with multithreading.
For general development, it is definitely worth a look. First of all, it is more low-level than PHP, so you can see and understand some things that you didn't think about before, which were invisible to the user in PHP, but nevertheless important to understand. Plus, you will work with a compiled language.
