> I would be interested to know if there are reasons Go is a better teaching language than Python. I don't know if it is _better_, but Go has a number of programming concepts you don't see in Python: - Static typing - dealing with pointers and dereferencing - building binaries vs. using an interpreter - Non-class based OOP I can see these being helpful to get under your belt sooner rather than later. Go wouldn't be my first choice, but I found the write-up helpful. I'm predisposed to think interpreted languages like Python are "easier" for kids. Good to see something that shakes that up a bit.
