The people who built this language are truly geniuses. I wish I were just as smart.

Imagine the depth of knowledge and audacity it took to assert in 2012 that there wouldn't be any incompatible changes in the future! And they positioned it as a new server-side industry standard right from the start. Such introspection and understanding were necessary to make such a claim

Nice to see rob pike again!

[@gkamolov]

Great stuff to listen to "Behind the Scene" work from the very author of the language, thank you

[@florenckaf]

I wonder which features would Rob remove with prejudice from the standard library.

[@BIBIJINO]

Typo @17:40 in the serve function?

[@chinglinwen]

one point about channel over networking, he really wanted, but don't figure out how or in a good way yet

[@TristanColgate]

For the curious, < 1.0, Go did actually ship with a crude net/chan package which got dropped.

[@joaodiasconde]

introduce algebraic data types and remove nullptr, making use of Optionals and Go is Goated

C++ 20 modules solves 2000 bytes problem.
