Pitching Go in 2025

Author: Changelog Media December 11, 2024 Duration: 1:01:16
With so many great programming languages having emerged in the last decade, many of them purpose-built, when and where does Go still make sense and how do you make the case for it at work?

Tune into Go Time: Golang, Software Engineering for the kind of conversations that happen after the conference talks end and the real work begins. Hosted by Changelog Media, this podcast gathers a rotating panel of seasoned practitioners like Mat Ryer, Natalie Pistunovich, and Johnny Boursiquot to unpack the complexities of building modern software. While the Go programming language is the common thread, discussions naturally expand into the entire ecosystem where it thrives. You’ll hear deep dives into the practicalities of cloud infrastructure, the design of distributed systems, and the operational realities of working with tools like Kubernetes and Docker. The tone is conversational and insightful, focusing less on abstract theory and more on the lessons learned from actual projects and production environments. Whether you’re a seasoned Gopher or just curious about how these technologies fit together in the real world, this show offers a valuable perspective from developers who are actively shaping the field. It’s the perfect listen for anyone who wants to think more deeply about software engineering while keeping up with the vibrant Go community. For those who have searched for it as GoTime or GoTimeFM, you’ve found the right place.
