Introductory Go for JavaScript Developers
summary
Claims that a JavaScript developer can bootstrap backend work in Go using side‑by‑side Node.js examples and core packages only, and demonstrates it with live code that compiles and runs. Shows specific snippets: fmt and strings for I/O and joining, typed arguments and float64 formatting, variadic args, the slice vs array semantics (zero values and pass‑by‑copy surprises), maps vs structs and returning pointers to fix copying, and mentions go routines and channels for concurrency; Slides link provided.
