Reading Club: Inlined defers in Go

The article for this reading club is a short blog post by Jaana Dogan on Inlined defers in Go. Janna is a principal engineer at Amazon Web Services (AWS). She is working on monitoring, observability and performance. Before AWS, she worked on different products at Google, including the Go Programming Language. In her blog (rakyll.org), she provides useful everyday practical tips about Go programming language ecosystem.

The article summarizes how the Go defer function works and walks through the changes in the performance of this function throughout the years. It recommends listening to a relevant episode of the GoTime podcast (linked below) as an additional resource.

Similar to past reading clubs, we will have an open discussion about the article and share our opinions, related personal experiences, likes and dislikes.
