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

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.

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.

[@BIBIJINO]
