You are the reason all employers think full stack is literally every language and framework.

Whatever I think this guy does that. Incredibleee

Go was the language of choice for my distributed class and the way it carried me through the hardest assignments I ever tackled in my degree has sowed a deep seed of appreciation in me. My professor called it a fusion of C and Python, and it takes a lot of the better elements of both.

As much as I admire Ken Thompson, C was largely Dennis Ritchie's achievement.

A series about programming languages could be fun! What's up with Rust? Why is Haskell so different? Is PHP still a valid choice? I have lots of questions that could be answered with a very basic overview of certain languages. Also, great video as usual

I came back to say "Thanks!" I first came across this video at the end of May 2022. I've been working with C# since 2003. I had been thinking of picking up a new language and the weekend that I decided to start learning Rust I came across this video and saw golang for the first time. And I loved it. I started playing around with it on weekends but since November 2022, aside from about 50 lines of C# code, all my code until now has been in Go. This video format was enough to highlight all the important bits and get me hooked on the language. I did take a look at rust just in case, but it's not for me. I have now added Golang to the languages I'm comfortable working with going forward.

Ok I'm officially convinced that Fireship is a psychic... I seriously just started learning Go yesterday.

Goroutines are based on the 1978 "Communicating Sequential Processes" paper by Tony Hoare. We stand on the shoulders of giants.

One of my favorite parts of using Go was the ease of concurrency - channels and waitgroups (kinda semaphores?) are built-into the language, and concurrency is as simple as appending "go" before a function call. No need to wrangle with threads (plus memory managment as well) or async/await or anything like that!

The best thing about Go is that you keep the performance of native executables, but with GC and great package ecosystem.

Next: Rust in 100 Seconds, the Go nemesis.

The quality is getting better day by day thank you!!!

Your timing is insane, I started learning Go after applying to Hashicorp as an intern right after seeing your Terraform video. Would love to see a haskell video next!

It is starting to become genuinely frightening that no matter what technology I discover or would like get into, it takes about 2-3 days until I receive a KZfaq recommendation of a new Fireship video about that specific topic. Seriously, no matter how often I think "that's it. fireship can't do even better." he simply does and that's why you are the #1 learning platform when it comes to software engineering to me!

Now u can create a video about gRPC vs REST vs Graphql APIS, that could be cool

You should make an API in Rust and in Go and compare your experience between the two. Also, you should make a video about deploying a fullstack application and specifically what point of the deployment process you would need to implement horizontal or vertical scaling. Deployment is still a black box to me since I mostly use tools like Netlify, Firebase, Supabase, etc.

Go is great. I mainly use it for automating tasks, and I'm starting to use it as a replacement for node for my web servers.

I love your channel Jeff. Your work is incredible, keep it up!

Finally a 100 seconds on my favorite language! Great content as usual :)

The most awaited video so Far Thank you, @Fireship Also, Please Upload Video on the GoLang in the Field of Web or Server (more than 100s).

You literally have the best channel on KZfaq.

This is an extremely helpful overview for future gophers

Your amazing video has successfully summarized the basic things we should know about Go.

I don't know if you'll see this comment but thank you for making such amazing and concise videos. You are very inspiring. There are two people that I really look up to on youtube, one is Grant from 3Blue1Brown, and you sir. Your video creation process video helped me a lot in assembling my own ideas and creating new things. Thank you again!

ok its about time you made the `rust` now

Great video as always mate, def seems a language to learn especially for the corposphere in the coming decades. Seems intriguing to me for the speedy compile, and server side usages, thanks for the information! Your videos are always a great place for me to start finding out a topic!

I love these 100 seconds videos! No crap, just information

What a video, again, and again. Amazing man. Thanks and I wish you will keep doing more.

I think this is the 100s video that has piqued my interest the most out of everything you've done. I'm much more focussed on and familiar with desktop development and Go sounds like it could be an awesome alternative to the languages I usually use... Or would if there was native gui library support, but maybe one day. In the meantime I'm sure a third party library will get the job done.

Just commenting to let people know that this guys is great ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Very short but more helpful than long video tutorials. Good luck!

This channel is my GO to channel for all things tech.

It’s literally my favourite coding language. Don’t get me wrong python is my second but it’s fast, it’s easy and you can compile to an executable! I don’t need a VM and I don’t need a browser. Also I don’t need to put my stuff in the main folder anymore I can just use go mod init and run the files from Anywhere

Should've focused more on goroutines and its excellent scheduler. "You can simply put 'go' in front of a function to make it a goroutine and spawn hundreds or thousands of goroutines and let go's excellent scheduler handle it efficiently without any sweat".

Amazing, you disrupting my learning path with such 🎯 videos. Keep doing what you do great!

I get inspired whenever you make new videos from something different each time

This looks like a kids programming language from the surface, but the level of simplicity and complexity built into one language is truly astounding

Interesting timing with Twitch's code being leaked... XD

As always doing great job. This channel is a pool of knowledge

Man you got me hooked in learning it in under 100 seconds!!!

I think it'd be cool of you had a series of "classic" coding languages "in 60/90/100 seconds" like fortran, pascal, and other much older languages that are either not used anymore or less often but to explain their purpose and the areas that they were helpful in

he is the guy every job description expects in their skills section

I was waiting for this for loong. Worth it!

aaah!! finally. THANKS....... We need a full course on this one Jeff.... Please. I'll buy lifetime subscription of FireShip just for this.

nice, just wrote my first go program, something to add to my resume ;)

This channel is seriously gold, I have an serious attention issue where I can’t focus on long articles and 10 minute videos, these 100 second videos really help me get introduced to the tech without losing focus thanks Jeff

Short assignment is such an amazing little feature.

Yay ! Now I can add Go in the skills section of my resume.

As a C programmer, I like Go because you can do things procedurally like in C, and it gets in your way much less, do you do not even realize the difference (except that 'int x' in c would be 'x int' in go). Somehow, I get this feeling much more with Go than with C++.

Rust in 100 seconds * borrow checker holding your family hostage *

Thanks 👍. I have been waiting for this long time ago.

I was blown away at how fast GO compiled your program.

Please expand on this video! Amazing how you compress such informative content into just 100 seconds 💪

I'm absolutely in love with Go. I find its syntax very elegant. Thanks for the share !

This should be an official presentation of GO :) Wanna try

man I really love your videos keep going

Next: Elixir in 100 Seconds

Compiled vs Interpreted Languages 100 seconds would be awesome!

Really Go is awesome , needed 100 sec video on concurrency in general terms

My GO to channel for new tech that i come across

While I'm one of the most ardent advocates of short, targeted videos on KZfaq, I'm also against pushing too hard to shorten things. A video that conveys all the beauties of Go in a very short time should not necessarily be packed in 100 seconds. For example, what if it was 10 minutes? A 10 minute video that touches on all the key components of Go would be much better. Incomplete introduction is not laudable brevity. Being short doesn't necessarily mean 1-2 minutes. A laudable brevity would be to explain in 20 seconds what others cannot explain in 20 minutes. But while it can be a great success to tell something that others can say in 5-10 hours in 10-15 minutes, it may be meaningless to squeeze it into 100 seconds. Despite everything, as someone who just started learning Go yesterday, I became aware of the existence of the go build command and realized how much it simplifies the compilation. Thanks.

Could you provide the source for your first graph where you compare the programming languages to each other? Thanks!

You are one of the main reasons I open KZfaq multiple times a day.

I tried Go to build backend service, and it actually is easy to learn

Why did the beyond 100 seconds series stop? As someone wanting to learn go, I would have seen entire course around it narrated by you.

You didn't even mention multiple return values in functions. :'(

Thanks a lot for taking such an effort to explain us in 100 sec. You are awesome!♥

This is a language on my on my to potentially learn list, that I first came across due to the Hugo CMS!

Go beyond 100 seconds. That's a video I wanna see Also for Rust. Heard a lot about it.

Rust is at the top of your graph @ 0:08 now you need to do Rust in 100 seconds 🙈

unprecedented coding vids; best on yt

This is a crazy well done video.

Do Kotlin and Kotlin Native next please!

I'd like to see something like the pros/cons/main uses of the most popular/most used languages today.

The static site generator Hugo is written in Go... supposed to be the reason for it's incredibly fast build times.

Can you do semantic versioning next? That would be interesting and exciting to see!

Waiting to see algorithms and data structure courses taught in Go

Would love to see Rust

I actually looked at the 100 lines of go a week ago and it got me really interested, can you maybe make some fun programs in go for a video?

Just what I was looking for and Jeff posts 😁

Great video! A Rust video would be awesome!

I took a semester of Go, Python, HTML and CSS…now I’m studying full stack development on codecademy and diving into JavaScript. I feel like Go and Python were both simpler than JavaScript

nit: you can still perform pointer arithmetic in Go by using the package "unsafe" - Pretty solid overview though :)

I was thinking about using Go when you posted this

Simply wow, this guy creates interest in learning about technology more than anyone else

Rust in 100 seconds!

man your video editing is next level

Right on time, my nephew just started with go

This is great, but "concurrency" and "parallelism" (as you've described in the last sentence) are NOT the same thing.

can't wait for rust

Thanks for the video! I really like Go for its low barrier to entry. At the same time, if you dive into, you will be surprised by the elegance of its internal structure. I would like to hear more about goroutines, this is still what makes this language so popular today.

Ken Thompson has only created the B programming language, which was a stripped-down version of BCPL. Dennis Ritchie then developed the C programming language, which evolved from B. Later, Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie together wrote the book "The C Programming Language," which set the K&R standard for C.

Running on multiple cores != concurrency. That's parallelism.

Rust in 100 seconds🦀

First of all thanks for the great work, I really appreciate your hard work. I think the background music in this video is a little louder than usual.

Fireship is that kind of youtubers that you don't have to watch theirs entire video, you know youll like it

"ultilize cpu cores" is not concurrency =(

Would be nice to include that GO has a GC, instead of C, C++ or Rust.

Glad my vote won out the poll from a while ago. Been curious about Go

Short and sweet explanation.
