#32Challenge author here. There is nothing Go specific to the challenge itself. I really want to encourage everyone to try solving the problem. If you don't like, know or care to learn Go, try solving the challenge using Rust, Ruby, Scala, Elixir, JS, Pascal, asm or whatever language you want to play with. While only Go submissions will be evaluated and rewarded, I would personally be glad to look at solutions written i…
Thank you for this challenge :) It was easy to solve, but I'm struggling trying to get the design right, also trying to be more robust with the parsing (there are fields that can be interpreted as uint64, int64, int32, uint32, etc). Most of the hex editors available for linux are broken, ghex for example, the "grab these 4 bytes and interpret them as float32" functionallity doesn't work at all. I don't know what peop…

Have mentioned this to the sponsor Packt Publishing.

#36And the prize for the best go code is... A bunch of books about learning go!
My personal opinion is the fun I would get in solving a challenge rathen than winning a prize. However, you have a point there. At the same time, the sponsors are providing other prizes too. There are some participants who are still learning Go and attempting the challenge.
