I completely agree that they are misinformed. A huge number of them think Africa is one big country.

And that the wars they read or see on the news is happening all across Africa. It really upsets me.

Am from Zambia and we have never experienced any war (yes not even civil war) its a beautiful, peaceful country. The only thing westerns know about Zambia is the Victoria Falls, because it was named after Queen Victoria. The rest is not important.

And FYI am the Co-founder of www.cognifly.com

A search engine for Zambian web searches.

Great article man. Am always super exited when i find articles that talk about information retrieval systems. I have a lot of questions for you. Been working on a search engine project www.cognifly.com for a year and its inverted index is still very small. Like 4gig now. So is ok if i send you an email?

I totally agree with you. The Go standard library's is fun to read. I end up opening multiple tabs of different packages. Lots of fun.

Rust. Have not had the time to play around with it. Am a full-time Go developer and I want to add Rust to my CV.

No its not. 600 lines of Go code.

I like VsCode especially for js css and html5 stuff. The problem I have with it is that it starts to lag when my codebase gets larger eg above 600 lines. Thats the reason why I switch to Atom. I think Atom is the best free text editor.

I fell in love with python because it was clean and easy to work with. Like most developers, I used to use c when I needed a performance boast. Then I got fade up and decided to learn a new language that could give me the feel of python and the performance of c. Two languages from a list of 10 passed the above criteria Go and Rust. Java did not even make the list because I Don't use languages that are owned by evil empire's(Oracle).

I went with Go because it was easy to use and understand. I could read other people's code easily( Even with a large code base, I have never found myself scratching my head trying to figure out my own code does), could set up my workspace in less than a minute and all the text editors I used (sublime, Atom, Vim) supported it. I Don't really care about the fancy IDE's. Just syntax highlighting and code completion is good for me.

I started learning go on September 2015. And I have managed to implement the porter stemmer algorithm and an inverted index in it. Miss generics but LOVE interfaces. The fact that any concrete type that implements method 1 satisfies interface 8 is awesome. You can easily reuse code from different package without changing anything.

This is exactly what I need for my deep learning research. Iv been abusing my raspberry pi 2 with heavy neuro nets. Shame about the prise though. I will wait for the price to drop(hopefully).
