The Go programming language is currently fashionable, and it’s been four years since the last time I started to learn a new programming language (Python), so I decided to start a series about my learning attempts. As I also want to know more about Kubernetes, my goal is to learn enough Go in the next few months to read the Kubernetes code base comfortably. As a starting point for this multi-part series, I’ve chosen Conway’s Game of Life [1], because its rules are simple but more complex than a typical hello world example.
