Adventure in learning Go for a C# dev!
summary
A C# developer documents learning Go on Windows and reports concrete tradeoffs: Go produces a single native binary, uses goroutines and channels that scale to hundreds of thousands (people report up to a million), and yields much lower memory footprints (roughly 30–40 MB vs 200–300 MB for equivalent C# tools). Practical details: implicit interfaces, structs with composition instead of classes, no generics, no exceptions, import-by-source package pulls (github paths), improving but rough IDE tooling, and productive results after a couple of weeks working with Azure.
