51<p>A “Sum” type is a data type that can hold one of many states at a given time, similar to how a boolean can hold a true or a false, not too different from an <code>enum</code> type in C. Go lacks <code>enum</code> types unfortunately, and you are forced to resort to crafting your own substitute.</p>
52<p>A type to represent gender for example:</p>

82<h3 id="type-assertions">Type Assertions</h3>
83<p>A downcast with an optional error check? What could go wrong?</p>
84<p>Type assertions in Go allow you to do:</p>
85<div class="sourceCode" id="cb3"><pre class="sourceCode go"><code class="sourceCode go"><span id="cb3-1"><a href="#cb3-1" aria-hidden="true"></a><span class="kw">var</span> x <span class="kw">interface</span>{} = <span class="dv">7</span></span>
86<span id="cb3-2"><a href="#cb3-2" aria-hidden="true"></a>y, goodToGo := x.(<span class="dt">int</span>)</span>
87<span id="cb3-3"><a href="#cb3-3" aria-hidden="true"></a><span class="kw">if</span> goodToGo {</span>
88<span id="cb3-4"><a href="#cb3-4" aria-hidden="true"></a> fmt.Println(y)</span>
89<span id="cb3-5"><a href="#cb3-5" aria-hidden="true"></a>}</span></code></pre></div>
90<p>The error check however is optional:</p>
91<div class="sourceCode" id="cb4"><pre class="sourceCode go"><code class="sourceCode go"><span id="cb4-1"><a href="#cb4-1" aria-hidden="true"></a><span class="kw">var</span> x <span class="kw">interface</span>{} = <span class="dv">7</span></span>
92<span id="cb4-2"><a href="#cb4-2" aria-hidden="true"></a><span class="kw">var</span> y := x.(<span class="dt">float64</span>)</span>
93<span id="cb4-3"><a href="#cb4-3" aria-hidden="true"></a>fmt.Println(y)</span>
94<span id="cb4-4"><a href="#cb4-4" aria-hidden="true"></a><span class="co">// results in a runtime error:</span></span>
95<span id="cb4-5"><a href="#cb4-5" aria-hidden="true"></a><span class="co">// panic: interface conversion: interface {} is int, not float64</span></span></code></pre></div>
96<h3 id="date-and-time">Date and Time</h3>
97<p>Anyone that has written Go previously, will probably already know what I am getting at here. For the uninitiated, parsing and formatting dates in Go requires a “layout”. This “layout” is based on magical reference date:</p>
98<pre><code>Mon Jan 2 15:04:05 MST 2006</code></pre>
99<p>Which is the date produced when you write the first seven natural numbers like so:</p>
100<pre><code>01/02 03:04:05 &#39;06 -0700</code></pre>
101<p>Parsing a string in <code>YYYY-MM-DD</code> format would look something like:</p>
102<div class="sourceCode" id="cb7"><pre class="sourceCode go"><code class="sourceCode go"><span id="cb7-1"><a href="#cb7-1" aria-hidden="true"></a><span class="kw">const</span> layout = <span class="st">&quot;2006-01-02&quot;</span></span>
103<span id="cb7-2"><a href="#cb7-2" aria-hidden="true"></a>time.Parse(layout, <span class="st">&quot;2020-08-01&quot;</span>)</span></code></pre></div>
104<p>This so-called “intuitive” method of formatting dates doesn’t allow you to print <code>0000 hrs</code> as <code>2400 hrs</code>, it doesn’t allow you to omit the leading zero in 24 hour formats. It is rife with inconveniences, if only there were a <a href="https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/strftime.3.html">tried and tested</a> date formatting convention …</p>
105<h3 id="statements-over-expressions">Statements over Expressions</h3>
106<p>Statements have side effects, expressions return values. More often than not, expressions are easier to understand at a glance: evaluate the LHS and assign the same to the RHS.</p>
107<p>Rust allows you to create local namespaces, and treats blocks (<code>{}</code>) as expressions:</p>
108<div class="sourceCode" id="cb8"><pre class="sourceCode rust"><code class="sourceCode rust"><span id="cb8-1"><a href="#cb8-1" aria-hidden="true"></a><span class="kw">let</span> twenty_seven <span class="op">=</span> <span class="op">{</span></span>
109<span id="cb8-2"><a href="#cb8-2" aria-hidden="true"></a> <span class="kw">let</span> three <span class="op">=</span> <span class="dv">1</span> <span class="op">+</span> <span class="dv">2</span><span class="op">;</span></span>
110<span id="cb8-3"><a href="#cb8-3" aria-hidden="true"></a> <span class="kw">let</span> nine <span class="op">=</span> three <span class="op">*</span> three<span class="op">;</span></span>
111<span id="cb8-4"><a href="#cb8-4" aria-hidden="true"></a> nine <span class="op">*</span> three</span>
112<span id="cb8-5"><a href="#cb8-5" aria-hidden="true"></a><span class="op">};</span></span></code></pre></div>
113<p>The Go equivalent of the same:</p>
114<div class="sourceCode" id="cb9"><pre class="sourceCode go"><code class="sourceCode go"><span id="cb9-1"><a href="#cb9-1" aria-hidden="true"></a>twenty_seven := <span class="ot">nil</span></span>
115<span id="cb9-2"><a href="#cb9-2" aria-hidden="true"></a></span>
116<span id="cb9-3"><a href="#cb9-3" aria-hidden="true"></a>three := <span class="dv">1</span> + <span class="dv">2</span></span>
117<span id="cb9-4"><a href="#cb9-4" aria-hidden="true"></a>nine := three * three</span>
118<span id="cb9-5"><a href="#cb9-5" aria-hidden="true"></a>twenty_seven = nine * three</span></code></pre></div>
119<h3 id="erroring-out-on-unused-variables">Erroring out on unused variables</h3>
120<p>Want to quickly prototype something? Go says no! In all seriousness, a warning would suffice, I don’t want to have to go back and comment each unused import out, only to come back and uncomment them a few seconds later.</p>
121<h3 id="error-handling">Error handling</h3>
122<div class="sourceCode" id="cb10"><pre class="sourceCode go"><code class="sourceCode go"><span id="cb10-1"><a href="#cb10-1" aria-hidden="true"></a><span class="kw">if</span> err != <span class="ot">nil</span> { ... }</span></code></pre></div>
123<p>Need I say more? I will, for good measure:</p>
124<ol type="1">
125<li>Error handling is optional</li>
126<li>Errors are propagated via a clunky <code>if</code> + <code>return</code> statement</li>
127</ol>
