@tskaalgard I can see the ambiguity, but I was talking about the programming language, not the tabletop game ;) although i've always been curious about it so I might actually try and learn that, too · 2 years ago

Not advice, but just to say Go is awesome. I think it's a really nice middleground in terms of its tradeoffs – it's a safe but simple language (I hate languages with too many features and complexity) with good concurrency support. I really dig it personally. Station is a single Go app, btw. · 2 years ago

Might not be very helpful, but going through "A tour of Go" really helped me:

The official doc is usually quite good too :). · 2 years ago
