Really? Would you care to talk about your work with the gopher protocol and it's application in today's computing environment?

  Reading the title I was actually hoping for a Gopher revival movement as a way to denounce the bloat surrounding HTTP and the mountain of protocols built haphazardly on top of it. Needless to say that I projected hard.

  There are many conventions held around technologies no longer in common use, but which still have an avid following of those that still find usefulness or enjoyment from them. For example, conferences around the Amiga and the Commodore 64 are still going on in 2018. I would honestly not be surprised if there was truly a conference dedicated to the Gopher protocol out there. If there was, I would totally want to read about it here. :)

    Gopher is not the only topic, but Bitreich Con had some talks about gopher like "Migrating the web to gopher". gopher://bitreich.org/1/con/2018

      Wow, there is a whole gopher community again! That's amazing!

  I would love to see "high performance" Gopher! It would certainly be a nice way to browse websites like HN and reddit without suffering bloat (especially the reddit redesign) edit: apparently it exists! http://gopher.floodgap.com/gopher/gw?gopher://hngopher.com:70/1/live/p1/ http://gopher.floodgap.com/gopher/gw?gopher://hngopher.com:7...
