I find Go really compelling, even though it's not super applicable to my job. When evaluating a new tool, I find I'm weirdly biased to things written in Go.

• I like that it compiles, and have no desire to install someone else's Python
• It just seems to hit the right balance of productivity, performance, simplicity, safety
• The language (and the tech built with the language) just seems built to last

Questions to Answer

• How to organize large(r) codebases
• Goroutines / concurrency
• Dev tooling
• How to read/write JSON
• How to validate with JSON Schema

Notes

• Regular Expressions
  • Compile with regexp.MustCompile (no need to check for error)
  • Strings denoted by backticks don't escape; use these for regular expressions
  • For case-insensitive matching, start the expression with (?i)
