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?
- badsectoracula 9y agoI 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
- huntie 9y agoWhat gopher client is that? It looks really nice but searching for "Little Gopher Client" didn't bring up anything.
- badsectoracula 9y agoMine :-), you can find it here: http://runtimeterror.com/tools/gopher/ http://runtimeterror.com/tools/gopher/

- cortesoft 9y agoAre 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.
