Opening Keynote
summary
The keynote traces concrete design moves: the first checked‑in hello.go on June 6, 2008 test, print evolving into Printf then back to print, visibility set by casing, channels and select borrowed from CSP with a primes sieve that actually runs, make/new split for channels in Jan 2009, semicolons removed Dec 11, 2009, and stability with Go 1.0 in mid 2012. It names tools, dates, the working prime filter example, and explains which changes stuck and which were experimental.
