Should you take Go as your first language?

Question

go

Once upon a time, about 10 years ago, I was fond of programming - but abandoned it!
Right now there is a great desire and interest
. Please tell me, knowing html, css and a little bit of JS, is it worth starting to learn Go as the first programming language?!

Answer 1

As much as I love go (it has been my main language for 8 years or more), I would still advise starting with something else, since go is more of a server-side language.
Have you already decided what you like best? Games, win/mac/linux software, web, server, front, mobile programming?
As a first language, I advise you to start with C #, since you can do everything that is listed above in it (not always, of course, efficiently).
It will provide an opportunity to learn programming for different types of tasks, and strong typing of C # (go is also strongly typed) will allow you to bypass a bunch of sore spots that you can stumble upon, for example, in JS or Python.
But when you decide in the direction of your development, you should choose a language more designed for the task.

Answer 2

Yes, you can.
The main thing is to accept that the go compiler considers things as errors that other languages ​​do not consider as errors.
For example, unused variables or incorrect formatting.
You also need to carefully read the guides and not be afraid of the English language.

Answer 3

Go is almost perfect as a first language
