I am a hobby programmer, and have been doing this since 1973. I
used to program in Modula-2, using stony brook's system, but that
stopped working on Win10.
I learned Go ~7 yrs ago. I write CLI utilities for myself.
I've had a mixed experience posting to golang-nuts@googlegroups.com.
Some of my questions may have been too simple to be considered worthy
of an answer. Others were answered and the answers were helpful.

How experienced are the participants here?

I've been writing Go since a couple months after its release, during my
last year of college; one of the CS professors offered a seminar course
in it. We had a good time although programs we wrote at the start of the
course couldn't compile without modifications by the end, the tooling
and language were moving that fast! I still miss netchans.

I've written Go for work since 2011, and it's been my full-time work
language since 2017. I've also done C and C++ professionally, and of
course plenty of shell scripting with a smattering of Perl and Python.

Sorry that you've had that experience. I think that unfortunately a lot
of people in the tech industry are out to win smart points.

I've also been using Go for a long time, so I think you'll find help
here if you need it.
