Hello, I now try to read "Go Language Specification", which you must read to became true Gopher. If you want to read this document, I offer all my help, but not overestimate me. Recently I even doubt if I'm programmer at all, maybe just advanced hobbyist.
Because Go Spec my by too much for the begining I strongly advice you go trough all the "A Tour of Go". https://go.dev/tour/welcome/1 "A Tour of Go" is easy, outside few excercise that need a background knowledge in things like networking. In any case, if you will have any question about "A Tour of Go" feel free to ask. One thing I think is worth of pointing out in the context of "A Tour of Go". When we talk about language itself, not its toolchain, there was only Big addition with big "B" to it since the version 1.0 was introduced in the 2012. By it I mean generics (or like Rob Pike call them more correctly: parametric polymorphism) introduced with Go 1.18 around February 2022. The part of "A Tour of Go" is that introduce generics is the only part that I don't like. It is too short and too sketchy for my taste. I learn quite a lot about generics reading proposal of them, at the time where was no implementation of them in the language, but I cannot these proposals as a learning materials. Ian Lance Taylor, which is one of the highest Go authorities in the world, once stated here that even the last proposal of generics isn't what is in the language, due to some changes make during the phase of implementation (at least this is what I understood from his words). Taylor said that if you know how generics works in Go, you should read Go Spec, which I currently doing. As a result, I cannot give you any point where to learn generics, since I still don't know if particular part of is appropriate for the beginners and I don't know an good ones at this moment. Maybe someone else can point to such good resource. At the bright side of things, I think generics are the last thing that you should learn in Go. They are important, but since are the last Addition with big "A" to the language, you should leave them to the end. At least in the my opinion.
