Golang with DuckDB, and more.

absent from Data Engineering

Recently, I was reading through some documentation on DuckDB and came across information about Golang. I’ve never gotten bit by the Golang bug, as clearly seen when looking at my 109 public GitHub repo, only 5 of those little blighters are written in Golang.

That, and it was 2022, the last time some Golang slipped through my fingers. Why is that?

I’ve found more use with Rust than Golang, but I’m no Golang hater; I can see the beauty in its simplicity and speed. Sometimes, it is quite confusing as to WHY it never caught on in Data Engineering or data context.
