Golang Rubyist-Golang Learning for Rubyists

Example

Explaining Go's interface system by comparing it to Ruby's duck typing. For instance, showing how both languages achieve polymorphism, but through different mechanisms.

Scenario

A Ruby developer struggles to understand how interfaces work in Go. Golang Rubyist explains interfaces in Go by drawing parallels to how Ruby achieves similar outcomes with duck typing, making the concept more accessible.

Example

Translating a Ruby code snippet that iterates over an array using `each` into Go, using `for range`.

Scenario

A user familiar with Ruby's `each` loop wants to perform a similar operation in Go. Golang Rubyist provides a detailed code translation, explaining the syntax and semantics of `for range` in Go, facilitating the user's understanding of Go's iteration patterns.

Example

Advising on Go's package structure and its importance for maintaining scalable and manageable code bases, in contrast to Ruby's more flexible module and class system.

Scenario

A developer experienced in Ruby's modules and classes seeks advice on organizing a Go project. Golang Rubyist offers insights into Go's package system, emphasizing best practices for scalability and manageability, bridging the knowledge gap with practical advice.
