I’ve been using Golang for 10 years, and even though I tried other programming languages, I always went back to it because of its simplicity.

It is so simple that reading the source code and playing around helped me pick up the majority of the syntax when I first got into Golang.

But even with these problems, I still prefer Golang to other programming languages, until I met Odin a week ago, and it was love at first sight.

People think that it is only for game development just because it includes 3D libraries with the compiler, but I disagree. Odin is also for backend development because it has a core library similar to Go’s standard library. Which means that it has all the building blocks for us to copy the rest of Go’s libraries like Chinese manufacturers.

I know that some of you play around with Rust, Zig, C3 or Hare, but these do not have array programming and struct tags in their languages.
