  Incredible blog. I've said it on this site before, but his series on regular expressions is insanely high quality and the fact he just posted it there for all of us is a huge privilege.

    Yes, I certainly benefitted very much from the series. Here is the first episode - devastating, convincing, easy to understand and very well written: https://swtch.com/~rsc/regexp/regexp1.html https://swtch.com/~rsc/regexp/regexp1.html

  This is the first time I'm noticing that rsc would be an initialism for the blog.

      :) While you're still reading these, I want to say that while I've never ended up using Go for any shipping projects, I've been a fan since day 1. And it hasn't been lost on me that in the languages and ecosystems I do use in my professional life, good decisions from Go have propagated through the software world. One thing that really sticks in my brain is gofmt; it makes it clear that there's still relatively low-hanging fruit where you can make a really good decision that spreads to the rest of the world on merits alone. It's an inspiration.
