This is a thick book, but good for examples and historical context.- I like how the books starts out with solid examples and a learn by example approach- I appreciate the author mentioning his personal preference, and explains why. This shows how opinion-based writing works well for memory and learning- implementing simple versions of traditional UNIX utilities.- the book is organized very well which makes it easy to use for reference as well as for reading from cover to cover- the philosophy and history or golang was really interesting to read about- The exercises at the end of the chapter were really helpful for driving home the concepts.- it drives home the concepts with examples, which is good since you need to see it in real life before you can really understandMy favorite chapter was chapter 12. I would recommend this book. Still not sure why garbage collection is relegated to the appendix, but that's ok.

This is a well-organized book from start to finish. I've been programming in Go since 2018 and was still able to learn more about Go. The newest chapters in this book include Generics and Fuzz & Testing. These are excellent, especially the Generics chapter. The author gives the reader insightful explanations and examples. I also appreciate that the book has also kept up with the latest versions of Go.
