Abstract
Go has emerged from its infancy, and is now one of the preëminent languages in the server, microservice, and infrastructure space. This talk collects lessons learned from 6 years of professional Go development, highlighting the idioms, design patterns, and practices that have proven themselves at scale — and many that haven't. Attendees will leave with a stronger understanding of what good Go code looks like, and with strategies to improve their own Go projects.
