Golang: What We Got Right, What We Got Wrong

The closing talk (video) from the GopherConAU conference in Sydney on November 10, 2023, the 14th anniversary of Go's launch, highlights what went right and wrong since then and emphasizes that Go aimed to improve software development processes, with the iconic gopher mascot being a key factor in the language's success. Key elements such as a formal specification, cross-compilation, compatibility guarantee, robust standard library, easy-to-parse language for tool-building, and the influential gofmt tool all contributed to Go's widespread adoption and success in the programming world.
