Congratulations on the anniversary of the book! I don't think I knew any go when I started to read the book. I might have tried out the playground but nothing serious. I just did it on the fly. I chose to write the code in C because that way I challenged myself to actually think about what I am doing, instead of copying the code as it is, which turned out to be a good call.
Go is let's get things done language. optimal sweet point between developer productivity and runtime speed. Corporate world (and the legend coders) knows its stuff 😉
Those books made me fall in love with lexers/parsers ! Its one of those moments where the magic of DSLs slowly unravelled in front of me and blew my mind how simple it was to write my own

That's really smart. I think that's a good way to do even if it's a non-language-specific book.

I am a 66-year-old retired programmer.
I just finished this month of reading and coding along with reading your remarkable book, which gave me moments of real joy.
I rediscovered the joy of this job, which I had kind of lost after many years of backend programming in C#.
At the same time, the book helped me to learn more about the GO language, which I can now say that I have fallen in love with.
I'm ready to "attack" your other book "Write a Compiler in GO".
Thank you.
Thank *you*! You just made me smile in a coffee shop.
