    *yay* back to fast compile times! with a side benefit of smaller binaries too

      Feels like they were on 1.6 for a freaking long time.

        I wish they released a version that can be automatically learned. Because it's almost a year since I've been wanting to look into Go and I still haven't found the time. My loss, I'm sure.

          Plus HTTP/2 support, slightly faster binaries and quicker GC. Looks like a great release!

            This pretty much covers 95% of the language: https://play.golang.org/

            Takes, I don't know, 20 minutes? 40 tops. I suppose if it's your first language it could take about an hour...

              Neah, that's not how you learn a language. That's how you start to learn it, but there's more. Much more.

                I think you meant https://tour.golang.org/
                While the Go tour it's not everything, it's a great quick motivator.

                  The hardest thing for me was wrapping my head around the threading stuff. coming from a single threaded dev career it was rather liberating!

                  As for learning, look at some examples for a simple web server and then try and benchmark your processor? Making my machine hurt is always a nice motivator

                  I look forward to hearing about how your first project has gone (send me a link)

                    Only 6 (ish) months. It can feel like an eternity when you are waiting for new/shiny features though
