There were a lot of great talks at this conference, including one on the new concurrent garbage collector (which is already in beta and hits stable sometime in the next few weeks).
My personal favorite, though, was Katherine Cox-Buday's talk titled "Simplicity in Go"[0]. It's really hard to write a talk that has value for people of all levels of experience (beginner to expert), and this one really stood out to me as an excellent example of one that does.
(Anecdotally, I've been writing Go full-time for 3 years now, and I found the talk valuable, as did a couple of my friends who have been writing Go for only a few months and also attended the conference.)

- 0xdeadbeefbabe 11y agoIt's interesting she mentioned Rich Hickey's simple made easy talk. I thought gophers ignored him, because they obviously don't have a problem with mutable state. Fliam also mentioned Hickey in his talk. It was something about place oriented computing.
- jshen 11y agoI love Go, I love Rich Hickey and I love clojure. I don't understand the confusion.
- 0xdeadbeefbabe 11y agoNo confusion. Hickey seems to strongly dislike mutating shared state. Go doesn't care so much as to enforce that in the language. Hickey is in favor of clear multi-tasking conventions, but go code can do it many ways.
