Why does GoLang not support OOP?

Although Go has types and methods and allows an object-oriented style of programming, there is no type hierarchy. Also, the lack of a type hierarchy makes “objects” in Go feel much more lightweight than in languages such as C++ or Java. Quote from an afficial GoLang FAQ page.

Should you use OOP in GoLang?

Can it be? Go (or “Golang”) is a post-OOP programming language that borrows its structure (packages, types, functions) from the Algol/Pascal/Modula language family. Nevertheless, in Go, object-oriented patterns are still useful for structuring a program in a clear and understandable way.

What are the limitations of GoLang?

The 4 Go Language Criticisms

• Lack of Function Overloading and Default Values for Arguments. I’ll post a real code example here.
• Lack of Generics. This is arguably the feature Go users are asking for the most.
• Dependency Management.
• Error Handling.
• Goroutines.
• Tools That Are Bundled with Go.
• Defer.

What is GoLang not good for?

It was written for weak programmers, using the old language as a template. It comes complete with simple tools for doing simple things. It is easy to read and easy to use. It is incredibly verbose, lackluster, and bad for smart programmers.

Is Golang memory safe?

Go is not memory safe (though is certainly safer than C++). Various Go constructs like interfaces and slices are implemented via non-atomic multiword structs, and data races may result in invalid values leading to memory corruption, etc.

How do you inherit in Golang?

Since Golang does not support classes, so inheritance takes place through struct embedding. We cannot directly extend structs but rather use a concept called composition where the struct is used to form other objects. So, you can say there is No Inheritance Concept in Golang.

Why there are no classes in Golang?

Basically Go doesn’t have the keyword, “class ” unlike other object-oriented languages like C++/Java/Python, etc… but (here comes the exception!!!) The only difference in a normal struct and an implicit class is that struct is defined by the programmer and then passed on to a function or a method and then processed.

Is Golang difficult to learn?

Go’s syntax is small compared to other languages, and it’s easy to learn. You can fit most of it in your head, which means you don’t need to spend a lot of time looking things up. It’s also very clean and easy-to-read.
