• The Most Common Golang Development Mistakes
• Golang is a powerful programming language that is
  perfect for web development. It is fast,
  reliable, and easy to use. Golang is also an open
  source language, which means that it is
  constantly being improved by the community. It is
  a statically typed, compiled programming language
  created at Google. It is not uncommon for
  developers to make mistakes when working with a
  new language.

• Here is a list of the most common mistakes made
  when developing with Golang
• 1. Forgetting to handle errors
• One of the most common mistakes made when
  developing with Golang is forgetting to handle
  errors. golang-faq points out that Go programs
  compile and run without noise by default. This
  can be misleading for developers who are used to
  languages that throw exceptions by default.
• It is important to remember that in Golang, it is
  up to the programmer to handle errors. Failure to
  do so can result in unexpected behaviour and/or
  program crash.
• 2. Trying to use nil as a zero value
• Another common mistake is trying to use nil as a
  zero value. In Golang, nil has a special meaning
  and cannot be used as a zero value for types.
  Attempting to do so will result in a compiler
  error.

• 3. Incorrectly using the blank identifier
• The blank identifier is a special identifier in
  Golang that can be used in place of a named
  identifier. It is often used when a programmer
  does not need to use the name of an identifier,
  such as when assigning values to a struct field.
• However, the blank identifier should not be used
  indiscriminately. Using the blank identifier in
  place of a named identifier can lead to code that
  is difficult to read and understand.
• 4. Not using go fmt
• One of the benefits of developing with Golang is
  that the go fmt tool can be used to automatically
  format code. go fmt is a go tool that takes care
  of formatting code according to the Go standard.
• However, many developers make the mistake of not
  using go fmt, which can lead to code that is
  difficult to read and understand.

• Final Words
• Each of these mistakes can be easily avoided with
  a little bit of knowledge and care. By using
  interfaces, you can ensure that your code is more
  maintainable and easy to understand. Inconsistent
  variable names can be confusing and make your
  code harder to read, so be sure to choose names
  that are clear and easy to follow. Pointers are a
  powerful tool, but they can be dangerous if used
  incorrectly. Be sure to understand how they work
  before using them in your code. Finally, dont
  ignore errors! Always handle them in a way that
  is graceful and maintainable.
