Ideas for things to do other than talks.

In perl mongers we golfed sometimes:

Go golfs could be cool since there are numerous ways to solve the problem.

nathany commented 10 years ago

So would we pick a problem from Project Euler, Exercism or similar and all try to solve it to see what people come up with? I've not "golfed".

abramhindle commented 10 years ago

Sure. I recommend problems with search or problems that could benefit from concurrency or a workers/channels model. But yeah. Often you choose a small achievable problem and then a few evaluation measures (code size, speed, memory, interestingness, use of channels, etc.) and let people explore a directions and then do show and tell.

nathany commented 10 years ago

I remember codility had the time and memory constraints on its problems like that. I've added it to the list.

nathany commented 10 years ago

@abramhindle Would you like to host "Go golfing", providing 2-3 problems and showing the algorithms? We could give more time than the usual 20-minutes so people can really dig in.

I was thinking of this a while back, and being new to Go, I thought short one-on-one critique sessions with someone more experienced would be nice. It would also encourage newcomers to work on something in between meetups.
