**Jerod Santo:** Today we're joined by a Go Time panelist and a world-renowned Captain Jack Sparrow impersonator himself... It's Mat Ryer. Hey, Mat. |
**Mat Ryer:** \[in cpt. Jack Sparrow voice\] Pleasure to be here, mate. I love your podcasts... I listen to them on the Black Pearl, mate... |
**Jerod Santo:** \[laughs\] See, I knew he would have to break into it if I just brought it up, so... |
**Mat Ryer:** Yeah... That's why I'm not allowed to see the doc... \[laughter\] |
**Jerod Santo:** Well played, well played. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** That's right, that's right. |
**Jerod Santo:** Mat, thanks for coming on the show. |
**Mat Ryer:** Thanks for having me. It's an absolute pleasure, and I do mean that. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** I would say similar to Jack Sparrow, Go Time would not be Go Time without Mat, the same way that the Pirates of the Caribbean would not be what it is without Jack Sparrow. |
**Jerod Santo:** That's quite a compliment. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** A quintessential piece to the puzzle, that's for sure. |
**Mat Ryer:** Well, I have so much fun doing it, and I meet such interesting people, and you can tell we have so much fun when you listen to it. So it's just a kind of joy really to do this, and I appreciate doing it. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** The number one question we ask is how do you find us, and it's usually by a way of Go Time. |
**Jerod Santo:** There you go. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Very often at least. Not usually, but very often. |
**Mat Ryer:** Right, okay. |
**Jerod Santo:** Once in a while... Well, actually twice now... |
**Mat Ryer:** You've walked that one back... |
**Jerod Santo:** Yeah, two people actually. Well, we're hoping somebody else \[unintelligible 00:03:03.01\] |
**Adam Stacoviak:** You've gone down a couple rounds. |
**Mat Ryer:** No one's ever said it. \[laughs\] |
**Adam Stacoviak:** No, every once in a while... The next thing they say after that is "I don't even write Go, but I love that show." |
**Jerod Santo:** Yeah, that's the best \[unintelligible 00:03:11.02\] |
**Mat Ryer:** I have had people say that to me... Yeah, isn't it? What are they doing? |
**Jerod Santo:** It's like, "We've fooled you." "What's your problem?" Yeah. \[laughter\] Oh, man... |
**Adam Stacoviak:** "What are you coding?" "Not Go... But I listen to Go Time every week." |
**Mat Ryer:** Yeah. Well, that is nice, because we do try and cover subjects beyond just the language as well... And there's so much in tech to talk about. So I do like the fact that we do that. We did one recently on test-driven development (TDD). We really didn't talk about Go very much at all... But the ideas just a... |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Yeah. Well, that's why the community lens to that show was very important to get to, because that lets you do that. Like, what the community really would appreciate hearing from these people that represent this community, that thrive in this community. I think that's the secret sauce, in my opinion.... |
**Mat Ryer:** \[04:21\] Yeah, like I said, I love doing it. |
**Jerod Santo:** One thing I've learned over the last couple of years that you've been on the show is that you came to Go in kind of a strange way - it seems strange to me - which correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you wanted to use App Engine, and App Engine supported Go, and maybe Python, I don't know, maybe C++...... |
**Mat Ryer:** Yes... It was before it was even released, and it was Java or Python were the two options. I didn't know either of them. |
**Jerod Santo:** You also didn't know Go though... |
**Mat Ryer:** Didn't know Go, but Go had a little EXP experimental by Johnny, which is very enticing, and I \[unintelligible 00:05:02.05\] couldn't resist it... Funnily enough, I was able to build something very quickly, and that's a nice thing as a developer. It gives you confidence to carry on... And kind of like get... |
**Jerod Santo:** Yeah. How long have you been writing Go? |
