**Brian Ketelsen:** There are a lot of interesting projects that have been updated lately, and there's some news. Let's dive into it. I'll start with Go Play - holy cow, is that cool! So you guys know I've had this - I don't know if "obsession" is the right word, but I've been trying very hard to learn front-end develo...
If you go to [goplay.space](https://goplay.space/) - it's a Go playground front-end, and there's also a back-end that submits your code off to the playground and then reformats it... But it's nice because it's got some slick integration with `godoc`, so you can highlight something and on the right side of the window it...
**Kris Nova:** Yeah, I was looking at this -- I saw this on Reddit the other day... I do actually try to keep up with [r/golang](https://www.reddit.com/r/golang/) as a moderator, from time to time. But I saw this... You're able to click on the Go functions and it would pull the GoDocs right there on the right...
**Brian Ketelsen:** Yeah, isn't that neat?
**Kris Nova:** Yeah, I'm gonna use this all the time, whenever I'm demo-ing stuff at the office, just because we have a lot of people who look at it who may not be super-involved with Go, and having the docs right there as you're going through the code is gonna be invaluable.
**Brian Ketelsen:** Yeah.
**Erik St. Martin:** So is this something that you host? I haven't looked at this yet... Is this something that you host yourself, or is it just like an alternative play site that you can go to?
**Brian Ketelsen:** It actually uses the playground in the background, but if you wanted to host your own, you could... But you don't need to, because he's got one hosted at [goplay.space] (https://goplay.space/).
**Erik St. Martin:** Oh, cool. I'm gonna have to start using that.
**Brian Ketelsen:** Yeah, it's really slick, and there's lots of extra sugary features on top of the playground that make it neat.
**Erik St. Martin:** Oh, no way... I was just playing around -- \[laughter\]
**Brian Ketelsen:** \[32:09\] NO WAY!!!
**Erik St. Martin:** I had to open this up, because you guys were talking about... So on top of clicking on a function, you can just go to the imports statement and click the imported package and it brings up the package docs, too...
**Brian Ketelsen:** Yeah.
**Kris Nova:** Yeah.
**Brian Ketelsen:** Slick. That's why I wanna go enjoy this source code... I need to assume - or subsume - at all "read it, become it, learn it, do it..."
**Erik St. Martin:** NO WAY!!! Alright... \[laughter\]
**Brian Ketelsen:** Shut the front door!
**Erik St. Martin:** Yeah, if you click on `package` or `import` or `func`, it actually brings up the doc for the package clause and import declarations and function declarations... The actual docs for that in the language spec. That's sweet...
**Brian Ketelsen:** Pretty cool.
**Erik St. Martin:** Yeah.
**Kris Nova:** Also, just because we're all hackers here, there's a Settings button in the upper right and you can change it over to Dark Mode and it looks really legit.
**Carlisia Thompson:** Nice.
**Brian Ketelsen:** Oh, it is legit!
**Carlisia Thompson:** Thank you for that.
**Brian Ketelsen:** Legit!
**Erik St. Martin:** And for anybody who doesn't like the standard, you can change your tab width, too...
**Brian Ketelsen:** I like 8 a lot. I don't know why, but I like 8 a lot.
**Erik St. Martin:** This is so slick.
**Brian Ketelsen:** It's slick, isn't it? I was really excited... The person that released it -- let me get the name, because I was just looking at it a moment ago... It is Igor Afanasyev (I'm not sure). Igor's been talking about it in the Vecty room in Golang Slack for a long time, and finally he released the source a...
**Erik St. Martin:** Now I need to try to avoid playing with this... \[laughter\] I just wanna take random code in here to see what happens...
**Brian Ketelsen:** Right?
**Erik St. Martin:** Like, if I use a channel and I click on the pointer thing, does it do something? I'm gonna be finding hidden things now...
**Kris Nova:** Right? Like, now I'm gonna find parts of the [golang documentation](https://golang.org/doc/) that I haven't looked at before, that I'm now gonna start reading.
**Erik St. Martin:** You almost feel obligated to read it after it pops up... \[laughs\]
**Kris Nova:** Right.
**Carlisia Thompson:** So the CFP for [Gotham Go](http://gothamgo.com/) - which is New York City in 5-6 October - is opened. So the CFP is open and it will close on 15th July.
**Erik St. Martin:** ...which is roughly --
**Brian Ketelsen:** The last day of GopherCon.
**Erik St. Martin:** Yes. I'm thinking today is June...
**Carlisia Thompson:** Today IS June.
**Brian Ketelsen:** It is June.
**Erik St. Martin:** No, I was thinking today is July. I'm thinking "Wow, that's only a week away that it closes", but no, it's like a month and a week.
**Brian Ketelsen:** This is how you know we're really close to GopherCon, because we don't know what day it is, we don't know what time it is, we don't really even know what month it is, and we certainly couldn't tell you who the members of our family are.
**Erik St. Martin:** We have families?
**Brian Ketelsen:** \[laughs\] Exactly.
**Carlisia Thompson:** And the last thing I will mention for projects and news is that [the videos](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spgyXhfxZP8&list=PLx_Mc4dJcQbl4qPWbVu86u6owZeiwsErR) from [GopherCon China](http://www.gopherchina.org/) are online. Apparently, most of them are in Chinese...
**Brian Ketelsen:** Oh, that's cool...
**Carlisia Thompson:** It is, so let's practice our Mandarin by watching the videos.
**Brian Ketelsen:** I wanna learn Mandarin so badly...
