This is awesome! Thank you. This is especially helpful for programmers who are good at other languages and want to get a feel of go quickly over a weekend. Much easier to map the existing mental models built over-time to the new go programming semantics. Humans learn best by example and comparing the new stuff with what we already know.
I agree 100%. I had a similar desire, that is to get a feel for go without making a big time commitment. I went to the wikipedia page and read that it has something called channels that sounded kind of like FIFOs or perhaps something out of SystemC.
This page gives a much faster understanding of what the language is like.
