Go programming language, not the Gopher Internet protocol. I wonder if there's a Gopher server written in Go yet...

I see a lot of these dismissive corrections when talking about Go and Gophers and just wondered how relevant the original gopher protocol was in your day to day? Like, when did you last request data using gopher?

  I don't know about msla, but i have my Gopher client right next to my Web browser[1] (yes the workspace is called Web, but they are both in the sort of same category of applications so i have them together :-P) and i use it quite often. I mainly read "phlogs" though, but there is generally a lot of stuff to read when bored. [1] https://i.imgur.com/Ck1UDhg.png https://i.imgur.com/Ck1UDhg.png

    What gopher client is that? It looks really nice but searching for "Little Gopher Client" didn't bring up anything.

        Hi, Care to join #gopherproject @freenode? I think I found a small display bug.

  Are you asking how relevant the protocol was in the day to day back when it was popular? Or now? Obviously, not many people still use the protocol, it has been almost entirely replaced by http. However, I used it a ton back in the early 90s. It was way more useful than the early web.

I was hoping some of the exercises was to implement gopher client/server in golang...
