HERE'S SOME DUMB SHIT

Go is a great language for making CLIs, REST APIs, and other intensive applications. Its syntax takes some getting used to, but once I got past its quirks I found that it really matched my mental models and its strong typing and GoLand’s autocomplete helped me type with confidence at speed. It’s been a lot of fun getting proficient with it.

I want to be clear about something, though. The Go Gopher is a loathsome, horrid creature. I detest its cloying bug eyes, I resent its tiny limbs. I desire strongly to kick a field goal with it. If it dared to darken my doorstep, I would not hesitate to set it on fire. This rancid vermin is not welcome on my computer.
