Go Koans
Want to learn Go? Want to do it easily? Want to have fun with it? Want lots of money?
I can't help you out with that last one. Sorry.
Usage
$ go test
See "Better usage" below for a better way to run the tests.
References
Bookmark the spec and the
packages listing. You can also
run the Go website locally with godoc -http=:8080.
Better usage
Annoyed at having to switch between your editor and terminal, just to type go test over and over?
As you should be! So download fswatch and let it run your tests for you any time you save a file.
$ go get github.com/sdegutis/fswatch
$ fswatch -f . -- go test
(If you get a 'permission denied' error on the 'go get' command and don't want to use sudo, do the "Go Setup" steps below.)
fswatch is kind of like watchr, but it's a native executable, written in Go, and only runs on Macs (you are using a Mac, right?) using the Apple-specific FSEvents framework. So it doesn't poll files or anything inefficient like that. It's very healthy for your system. And it's not a gem and so doesn't depend on any other programs, it's just a native compiled executable.
Go Setup
After installing Go, these steps are necessary before any Go project will work. All
project directories need to be under $GOPATH/src for the go command to be useful.
$ export GOPATH=~/my-go-projects
$ mkdir -p $GOPATH/src
Since the $GOPATH is almost necessary for Go, it's recommended that this goes in your ~/.profile:
export GOPATH="$HOME/my-go-projects"
export PATH="$GOPATH/bin:$PATH"

Anyway, diggin' it? If so, endorse me:
Thanks!
