The Go Community
summary
The talk argues the Go community is many overlapping subcommunities, not a single hive, and points to surprising scale in China — Qihoo 360 handling 10 billion messages and Baidu serving 100 billion requests a day — to show most users are invisible. It describes concrete efforts: curating Go for Vids (about 350 talks), seeding r/golang, promoting GoFuzz, and urging people to run betas, file bugs and submit small documentation or PR fixes to improve real-world Go.
