What Hacker News says?

  1. others have already mentioned Gonum: - https://gonum.org Gonum is almost on par with _e.g._ NumPy/SciPy (most notably lacking: ODEs). So still ways to Go but it's getting there. Go-HEP is my attempt to bring a few High Energy Physics oriented packages to particle physicists: - https://go-hep.org I've also written a few words on why I think Go is great for science: - https://sbinet.github.io/posts/2018-07-31-go-hep-m…
