Characters do not exist in Go: Everything about runes!

There is a fundamental difference between characters and runes, and this video will clarify everything you need about runes in Golang. Timers and Tickers are also excellent, and I already made a video about them as well: https://youtu.be/pokwMUv5vwc 📝 Description In this video, we dive deep into the concept of runes in Go programming. Learn why Go uses runes instead of characters and how this impacts your code when working with text, especially non-English or special characters. By the end of this video, you'll have learned: • What runes are and how they differ from characters in other languages • Why Go uses runes and their relationship to Unicode code points • How to work with runes in Go, including basic conversions and printing • The importance of runes for handling non-ASCII characters and internationalization • Real-world applications of runes in text analysis and processing • How to efficiently handle Unicode text in Go using runes • The difference between byte-based and rune-based string operations ⏳ Timestamps: 00:00 - Introduction 00:32 - Basic Usage of Runes 06:00 - Text Analyzer Use Case 17:25 - Outro 👋 Hey there!
