Pato's Programming Journey
- Patricio started programming with Visual Basic and MATLAB, struggling with Python before discovering Go.
- Go clicked for him when rewriting his scheduler combinator, transforming his approach to programming.
Go's Types Aid Understanding
- Go's explicit types provide clear context, greatly aiding learning and code comprehension.
- This contrasts with Python's loosely defined data structures, which often confuse new learners.
Go's Error Handling Advantage
- Returning errors as values improves clarity and control over error handling.
- Exceptions hide error origins and disrupt predictable control flow, confusing even critical systems like NASA's Curiosity Rover.
