I'm a current MS intern, curious what work ya'll are doing in Go. Would you be up for a call sometime?

Ex MS employee (and former intern). Somewhat new to Go (and using VSCode full time) - but it's the language of choice for my job right now. Go seems to be popular in backend apps (non windows mostly) where concurrency and performance are important. The tooling around go for performance profiling and optimization are rather good IMO, and quite friendly if you are accustomed to Unix style CLI tools.

I do agree with the other comments that the language server is buggy but it works quite well when it works. I may be a bit bias when dealing with tooling since I came from Xcode where workflow breaking bugs was the norm.

Email me your MS alias and I'll reach out over Teams on Monday. Email is my profile.

Thank you. I might be missing something, but not seeing an email in your profile here and not seeing anything plausible in internal search.

I’m [redacted], I don’t mind that being public for a bit to avoid playing tag :)

The email field in an HN profile is private. You have to add it to the About field if you want others to see it.
