Is Go a good first language to start programming?

Go is a good first language to start programming with for several reasons.

1. It has consistent syntax, making it easy to remember how to write code.
2. As a modern language, Go has learned from mistakes made by older ones.
3. Google endorses Go and that assures its future.

The problem you may encounter when learning Go first is that you might be reluctant to look back at older languages after. So, be careful (laughing)... 

Keep an open mind and go for it.

Here's a good place to start:

• The Go Programming Language Tutorial - Volume 1

Try it.

R.I.P. TypeScript playground

The moment that simple TypeScript playground on typescriptlang.org was replaced by a convoluted version disregarding the hundreds of tutorials made specifically for it, I began losing trust on which direction Typescript is heading.

Don't they have a leader able to discern the potential damages they could make by such drastic change?

Somehow, an odd feeling of loss has replaced all the enthusiasm I had for the JavaScript superset.

Requiescat in pace.
