**Brian Ketelsen:** Yeah, Fatih is now a new dad, so congratulations to everybody...
**Daniel Whitenack:** Congrats!
**Carlisia Thompson:** Congrats!
**Erik St. Martin:** That's a week ago, two weeks ago now?
**Brian Ketelsen:** I don't think there's been that's gone by that we haven't talked about Vim Go.
**Erik St. Martin:** Yeah, one of us always has Vim Go, and I'm gonna play right along with it, because who I'm gonna thank is Nvim. I've been a Vim user for a long time, and I kind of tinkered with Nvim. I don't even remember why I went back to standard Vim, and then Brian's like "Dude, why are you still using regular...
**Carlisia Thompson:** Is it Nvim or Neovim?
**Brian Ketelsen:** Neovim. The command line you type is nvim. Yeah, and those are two great tastes that taste great together, because Neovim does asynchronous processing and Vim Go enables that very nicely, so you can do things like compile while you continue to edit, and that's not possible in regular Vim, and it's r...
**Daniel Whitenack:** Oh, cool. You guys are giving me something to do after the talk ends. \[laughter\]
**Erik St. Martin:** We're always learning with Vim. It's doesn't matter how long you've been doing it, you still find new plugins, you find new versions. And I think we are actually over time, but it's been fun.
**Daniel Whitenack:** It's been a lot of fun!
**Erik St. Martin:** Yeah, this has been great, and I'm looking forward to your talk at GopherCon as well. And for anybody who wants to hear more from Daniel, you should attend his talk at GopherCon.
**Daniel Whitenack:** Yeah, and I'll be around and be happy to talk about Go and data science throughout the conference, so hit me up.
**Brian Ketelsen:** Yeah, just on that note real quick, as we're wrapping up, we're gonna have panels with the speakers in the afternoons, so if you wanna get some quality time with the experts in the field, the afternoons of GopherCon on your time, GopherCon.com, buy your tickets now. Did that sound like a soap commer...
**Erik St. Martin:** You gotta do the fast talking thing if you're gonna do the commercial, because you gotta get that in like five seconds.
**Brian Ketelsen:** That's what I was going for... I guess I can't talk fast, sorry.
**Erik St. Martin:** Alright, so I wanna thank everybody who's on the show, the entire panel. I want everybody who is listening and who will be listening, definitely share the show if you guys wanna hear more. We're gonna kind of vary topics between community and what's going on, and talking to people, as well as deep-...
**Brian Ketelsen:** Goodbye. Thanks, Daniel.
**Daniel Whitenack:** Goodbye.
**Carlisia Thompson:** Goodbye.

**Erik St. Martin:** We are back for another episode of GoTime. Today's episode is number 18. Today's show is sponsored by Linode and Backtrace, so first we want to give them a huge thank you for sponsoring the show. Today on the show -- I'm gonna switch things up a little bit. First we have myself, Erik St. Martin, al...
**Carlisia Thompson:** Hello!
**Erik St. Martin:** And Brian Ketelsen...
**Brian Ketelsen:** Howdy!
**Erik St. Martin:** And our special guest today is Aaron Schlesinger, which... I guess you work at open Deis right now?
**Aaron Schlesinger:** I do, yeah.
**Erik St. Martin:** And working on Kubernetes-based stuff. You also have a project that we've seen, which is Go In 5 Minutes. Do you wanna give everybody a little bit of background about yourself?
**Aaron Schlesinger:** Yeah, sure. I've been writing Go for just about three and a half years now, at a variety of different places and on my own. It kind of just started as a hobby project. I was coming from Scala, which was kind of a mess at the time, and I was looking for simpler tools to start out. So I came to Go,...
Then I moved to a couple different companies, all writing Go. I finally landed at Deis. I am kind of through that whole process, just participating in the community in different ways... When I first started Go In 5 Minutes, I saw there was a little bit of lack of intermediate and advanced content for Go, so I wanted to...
