+## Notes
+# - libraries - source only, but can link to C *.so and *.a
+# - Fork/Exec are coupled together (for coroutine and GC reasons)
+# - Threading, and multiproc, concurrent logic
+#  -- nice and easy to use
+#  -- Make for tricky handling of C calls (i.e. setns)
+# - `go get` is handy
+# - cross-compile without hardly any bootstrapping
+#  -- native compiler supported arches
+#  -- gccgo works for the arch gcc is compiled for
+# - primitives can seem a bit magical
+#  -- conditional returns
+#  -- for ... range
+#  -- iota
+# - no ifdefs, but build tags
+# - error handling, rather than exception catching

+* Overview
+
+- strongly typed
+- compiled
+- stylistically nice
+- opinionated/idiomatic
+
+
+* 
+
+.image ./rainbow.jpg
+
+
+* fully qualified imports
+
+.code ./imports.go /START1/,/STOP1/
+
+
+* fast compiles
+
+(Perhaps other compilers are slow)
+
+.play ./hello.go /START1/,/STOP1/
+
+
+* defer
+
+.code ./good0.go /START1/,/STOP1/
+
+
+* Garbage Collected
+
+- Super convenient
+- references
+- completed goroutines
+
+
+* Garbage Collected
+
+.link https://twitter.com/brianhatfield/status/634166123605331968 Brian Hatfield GC improvements
+
+- go1.4 (300ms) -> go1.5 (~30ms)
+- go1.6.0 (25ms) -> go1.6.3 (5ms)
+- go1.7.3 (3ms) -> go1.8beta1 (sub ms on 18Gb heap)
+
+
+* simple exports

+- easy learning curve
+- `go get`
+- cross-compiles
+
+
+* 
+
+# they come along, and affect how you do your work
+.image ./cats20.gif
+
+
+* Packaging
+
+Addresses different concern than distributions
+
+* lack of generics?
+# i don't feel strongly about this, though many do
+- interfaces - are enough for most
+- go1.4 introduced go:generate
+# produce code for Set, Graph etc, for the types needed, but at compile time. No need to reflect.
+
+
+* Debugging
+
+- gdb is there, sort of
+- some known debugging tools for ELF are not useful
+- fmt.Printf("%#v\n", ...)
+
+
+* Concurrency and CGO
+
+Calls like setns(2) are rough
+
+(yes, even with runtime.LockOSThread())
+
+Embedding other languages (like ruby and python that have their green threading)
+
+
+* Fork/Exec
+
+Not Separate, but together
+
+
+* 
+.image ./revenge-of-the-nerds-o.gif
+
+
+* build tags
+
+no #ifdef
+
+.code ./tags.go /START1/,/STOP1/
+
+or files with *_linux.go like suffix.
+
+More like extern.

+
+
+* Conclusions?
+
+
+* use-case
+
+- like all languages, align with you use-case
+- get familiar enough to like and dislike it
+- don't be afraid to try it out
