**Erik St. Martin:** It's Go Time! This is a weekly podcast featuring special guests where we will discuss interesting topics around the Go programming language, the community and everything in between. If you currently write Go or aspire to, this is the show for you. |
We've got a great show lined up today. This is our first episode, so we're gonna do some brief introductions and talk a little bit about what the show is about, and then we've got some news items that we'd like to talk about. With that said, I'm Erik St. Martin, I've been programming in Go since about 2011. I'm co-orga... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Hello. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Do you want to tell everybody a little bit about yourself? |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Sure. I'm Brian Ketelsen, I've been doing Go since 2010 and, like Erik mentioned, co-founded Gopher Academy and started GopherCon because we wanted a conference to go to and nobody else was doing it, darn it. |
**Erik St. Martin:** We need more conferences. We definitely need more conferences. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** We do. I'm really glad to see the explosion of Go conferences around the world. |
**Erik St. Martin:** And we also have Carlisia Thompson here with us. Carlisia, how are you? |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Hi Erik, hi Brian, and hi to the listeners. I work as a backend developer for a net tech startup. I am based in San Diego. My first contact with Go was when I went to GopherCon last year and I fell in love. It was great, it seemed to me like it brought together features of different languages tha... |
I'm also a co-founding member of GoBridge, and kind of like the same reason you guys wanted conferences, I wanted to have material to learn Go and also help whoever wanted to learn Go, so I'm glad that GoBridge exists to do that. |
**Erik St. Martin:** That's excellent. I think that's kind of a shared love of all of us here on the show, just kind of advocating community and advocating people get into this language and technology we love. Hopefully with our different backgrounds and experiences we can bring some insights to the listeners, and also... |
With that being said, one of the segments that will be a common thread is we'll talk about some news, events and any interesting articles that have come across our emails and social media and everywhere we find the things, along with having some special guests. We've actually got quite a few really interesting guests l... |
If you haven't already, please subscribe. The easiest way to do that is to go to GoTime.fm, and you can also subscribe to the weekly newsletter there. We also would like to advocate for everybody to hit us up on Twitter @GoTimeFM with any questions you'd like to hear us answer, questions for guests we have coming up, q... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Feedback, comments, praise, kudos... |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Suggestions for guests to be interviewed... |
**Erik St. Martin:** Yes, definitely. We'd love to hear from everybody, people we should invite on the show. There's so many great people in the community that I think that we can get on here. With that being said, let's open this up to some news. Does anybody have anything interesting that's come across their email an... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** I do. I think the biggest new thing that came out was Go 1.6.1 and 1.5.4 were released. Small security issues on Windows and crypto libraries, but everybody should update. There's really no reason to be using 1.4 anymore, so go update to 1.5.4 or 1.6.1 now. That's a big one. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Those releases were actually a couple of CVE security vulnerabilities, right? One was related to DLL injection, and I forget what the other one was. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** If I remember right, the Windows one would allow a program to load any DLL dynamically that happened to be in the same library as the executable Go file; that was fixed. Then the other one had something to do with the crypto libraries not checking bounds on numbers that they send into the big intege... |
**Erik St. Martin:** That's right, I think I vaguely remember that. It was something pertaining to being able to create denial of service attacks on binaries to leverage that. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Right. The next big news item I have is the explosion in Go editors these days. If you follow me on Twitter you know my undying love for Vim and Vim-go, but really there's a lot of great editors out there right now that have good Go support. I played with Visual Studio Code on all three major platfo... |
The Atom editor got a big update this week, I think it's at 1.6 now. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** It's 1.7. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** 1.7, okay. So it got a big update this week, and the Go tools there look fantastic, too. So there's really a lot of great options for editing code if you like just text editors, and then the IntelliJ big plugin for Go and on the IDEA platform is awesome, it looks really good. If you don't mind havin... |
**Erik St. Martin:** And Carlisia, you're an Atom user, aren't you? |
**Carlisia Thompson:** I am, die-hard fan. |
**Erik St. Martin:** I keep wanting to love these things, but I guess I'm too stuck in my ways. How have you been liking the new update? |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Well, I since 1.6 had... I actually just today noticed some features that 1.6 introduced, and I can go and talk about this stuff forever, but I hope we will have an episode just to talk about editors and the different Go tools in each editor. I'll talk more about it then. |
I wanted to say though that for Visual Studio I got very interested in checking it out, because I see people that I admire in the Go community using Visual Studio with Go packages, and they are loving it. I tried it twice, and I couldn't get my head wrapped around it. I totally geek out on editors, so I was willing to ... |
**Erik St. Martin:** I keep seeing these editors come out, and IDEs and I'm like "I wanna use it", and every time I try, I'm just like "I want Vim back, I want my Vim back!" Speaking of which, news-wise they just announced Vim 8, which I'm pretty excited about, and I'm sure Brian is, too. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Yeah, that's big. |
