50 Shades of Go: Traps, Gotchas, and Common Mistakes for New Golang Devs

Mostly interesting to me for the concurrency problems.

Modern garbage collection – Mike’s blog

A critical look at the tradeoffs in Go's GC. (Like their concurrency facilities, it ignores a lot of the advances in design in the late 70s.)

Making the move from Scala to Go, and why we're not going back | Movio Blog

POP being one reason: "It's not just the fact that channels and goroutines are cheaper in terms of resources [...] They are also easier to reason about when coding."

Visualizing Concurrency in Go · divan's blog

The Go community reinventing what occam was doing in the 80s, again. I'm still not sure whether this is a positive thing or not.

Ebiten - A simple SNES-like 2D game library in Go

"A simple SNES-like 2D game library in Go". I did the same thing for occam-pi back when I was at Kent; I'm a bit disappointed that this doesn't make any (interesting) use of Go's concurrency facilities.

On Go

A critical comparison of Go and... Algol 68. I would also observe that Go failed to learn even from occam, another Algol-derived language that it's much more closely related to. But I wasn't previously aware of some of the cool features that Algol 68 had; this is a good read.

[1412.6564] Move Evaluation in Go Using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks

"We train a large 12-layer convolutional neural network by supervised learning from a database of human professional games. The network correctly predicts the expert move in 55% of positions, equalling the accuracy of a 6 dan human player."

Go's Declaration Syntax - The Go Blog

Discussion of Go's slightly unusual type declarations. I appreciate what they're trying to do -- but occam solved the same problem in the 1980s without having to write all the declarations backwards...
