> rsc, thank you very much for all the hard work on the language that brought me into software engineering.

You're quite welcome, and thank you for this comment. I never expected when we started that Go would have such a positive impact on people's lives, bringing new people into programming and software engineering. That's definitely the impact I'm most proud of.

Thank you guys from another fan! Go literally saved my career as a software dev: got burned out around 2014, tried Go as therapy and have been a happy gopher ever since :)

Thank You rsc. This is sad because Go is one of the few language that is good and conservative instead of hype and feature creep. And that is primarily because you say No to a lot of things.

I do wonder, if you could re-do Go or another programming language again. What feature / changes would you add or take out.

I've been programming for 20 years and Go has proven to have more gravity than any other language I've used. When I just need to get something done, it's what I reach for. Thank you for your part in building such a useful tool.

Thanks for helping the OEIS site stay alive. I was absolutely delighted by it the first time I visited it, decades ago. Equally delighted when I visited recently and saw some “Russ Cox” contributed.

Same sentiment as the above poster. I’ve been working with Go since 2014, after using many languages before, and none match the ease and efficiency of development for my work. Thank you so much!

Thank you very much rsc! Golang not only helps me feed my family but also I created many friendships from using it :)
