Fall is a busy season for the tech world, and it’s showing no signs of slowing down. On Monday, October 18, Apple is expected to reveal its new M1X MacBook Pros. On Tuesday, October 19, Google confirmed it is hosting its Pixel 6 event. Today, Samsung announced that on Wednesday, October 20, it’s holding a second ‘Unpacked’ event, where it will announce… something?

Your average software engineer is still in love with Python. Married, even. But not those at Google, Uber, Dropbox, Soundcloud, Slack, and Medium. The programmers at top corporations have long fallen for the language with the cute mascot. That’s not to say that Python is no good. It’s great! But whether it’s for APIs, web services, or data processing — while most developers are still using Python, top-performers are adopting Golang, or Go, more and more. Because it rocks. Go was invented by an all-star trio at Google: Robert Griesemer was one of the heads behind Google’s V8 JavaScript machine and a…
