Michael, I'm delighted to read your gracious and thoughtful response. These 
ideas make me want to revisit and perhaps revise into a brand new write-up 
(all over again) something I had written 

 
a while ago!

Agree about Lisp (and in same way, Forth and J etc.). About the book I
recommended, it is a missionary book; one of the Bell Labs diaspora on the
topic of why people like UNIX so much, what's not so obvious about
programming (that it is really about people more than machines), and a
point of view by Rob on things like simplicity, testing, and other "above
the language level" topics. I don't want to give it all away, but if the
people who were in anyway associated with this book had formed a "gang" and
written a language to implement the ideas...

Re: [go-nuts] The Seven Finest Go Books (to popularize and 'socialize' Go).

2019-06-21 Thread Akram Ahmad 
- Great! I'll add your golang-oriented *Data Structures & Algorithms book* 
to my list of Go books—the list just keeps growing, yay!—to check out and 
tell my blog-readers (and others!) to check out in turn :) 
- Thanks, Bhagvan.
- I remain a polyglot programmer, and in fact have been *programming 
exclusively in golang* for the past one year, working on an open-source 
project (EdgeX Foundry ), a vendor-neutral, 
loosely-coupled microservices framework that seeks to provide you the 
choice to plug and play from a growing ecosystem, with a focus on the IoT 
Edge.
- *Except* for *the plugin system*, the golang ecosystem has been serving 
our project needs well. We had high hopes that this feature (i.e. the 
plugin system) would enable us to build loosely coupled modular programs 
using packages compiled as shared object libraries that could be loaded and 
bound to dynamically at runtime. 
- It's been *a frustrating experience*… But for now, we continue working 
hard to keep our investment in golang working for us. I want to remain 
hopeful.
- I came to Go from an intensive background in Java and Scala. Golang (*the 
language!*) has amazed me, in a good way.
- Again, thanks for the pointer to your golang-oriented DS book!

While I've heard great things about Pike and Kernighan’s *The Practice of 
Programming*, that is one book I have not got around to picking up; 
clearly, you think highly of it, so I'm going to check it out, thanks for 
the pointer! Does it address some of the same areas as, say, *The Pragmatic 
Programmer: From Journeyman to Master* by Andy Hunt and Dave Thomas and/or *The 
Art Of UNIX Programming: The Cathedral and the Bazaar* by Eric Raymond? 

Speaking of the amazing programmer that Eric Raymond is, he has made an 
observation of which I'm reminded by your thoughtful comment. Thus, and as 
I had mentioned many moons ago in my Clojure write-up 
, he 
has pointedly noted that "*Lisp is worth learning for the profound 
enlightenment experience you will have when you finally get it; that 
experience will make you a better programmer for the rest of your days, 
even if you never actually use Lisp itself a lot.*"

There is a marvelous book that is about Go in a magical way...it explains
and teaches Go’s personality and attitude...from before Go was born. Read
Rob Pike and Brian Kernighan’s “The Practice of Programming.” After reading
it carefully you will understand Go in a deeper way than would otherwise be
possible. If you have a detective-like personally, study the author’s
credits for who advised them. You’ll think it was the “most frequent poster
ranking” for this mailing list... even though this all happened beforehand.

You’ll also become a better programmer. Truly.

- Excellent! I will add your book to my list of Go books—the list keeps 
burgeoning, a good thing of course—to check out and tell my blog-readers 
 (and others!) to check out in turn 
:) 
- I thank you, Nathan.

You might want to take a look at Manning's "Get Programming With Go" too;
it's aimed mostly at more inexperienced programmers.

[go-nuts] The Seven Finest Go Books (to popularize and 'socialize' Go).

2019-02-21 Thread Akram Ahmad 

   
   - The amazing language that golang surely is, and how refreshingly (and 
   elegantly) simple a language golang is—take this from someone coming from 
   extensive experience in Java and Scala, two language which well-deservedly 
   have a lot going for them—I think we need to do *more* to popularize 
   (and 'socialize') the promise of golang to the larger community of 
   programmers. 
   - To that end, I put together and recently posted a (fairly) detailed 
   blog post: *Best Go Programming Books (2019) 
   
*
   .
   - Earlier posts (at least on golang) include the following two: *The Go 
   Programming Language 
   
* 
   and *Further Adventures In Go Land 
   
*
   .

Go golang!

Warm Regards to fellow gophers, hibernating or otherwise :)
