Another nice introduction is the Go Playground's Tour (http://tour.golang.org/#1).

It's Friday gents! No excuse to set aside Saturday and Sunday, you can easily go through these examples in two days and grok it. Go is that _slim_, and that's good!

Guaranteed you'll find use for Go in one system or the other when you want easy deployment, fast development time and extreme speeds. :)

(Disclaimer: I love Go and I hope it goes mainstream in a big way in 5 years)

The documentation format is a revolution of simplicity and comprehension. I can see this list format (and content) working for any/all languages.

Nice and clean. I like it. Maybe it would be nice to have comments with up/down votability ala Stackoverflow.

This documentation is great, but one thing I tend to miss with examples like these is how to structure a project, deal with packages, etc.

I've started using Go on a personal project and this looks to be a great concise resource. Hopefully this'll give me some fuel to work on it this weekend!

GitHub is your friend here.

Here is a search for Go repositories with > 100 stars.[1] Every project will look different (the really big ones might be more complex then you need) but as you get deeper into the results you can find some great stuff.

Are there any plans to add generics yet, or do I still have to write a bunch of extra boilerplate functions in order to sort a list?

That's something for the Go creators to decide, but personally I enjoy the feeling of safety that comes with lack of generics. I have very few Go bugs at runtime and I think that explicitness plays a huge part in it.
