**Natalie Pistunovich:** That's true. That is actually true.
**Steve Francia:** Or pragmatic.
**Jon Calhoun:** I mean, that just means you need to rebrand the go.dev website, and just put "FUN" real big.
**Steve Francia:** I think we're gonna have to... What were the -- it was fast, simple, pragmatic and fun. I think that's what's gonna go on the website now.
**Katie Hockman:** I think it has to. Legally obligated.
**Mat Ryer:** That's what people think of it... But how do you feel? Do you feel like you got to know the Go community a bit more as well, in a way?
**Steve Francia:** Yeah.
**Mat Ryer:** Like, do you understand them? Sometimes some of the answers are unusual, aren't they?
**Jon Calhoun:** I feel like the last time you played this -- the last time you played this, didn't you have questions that asked about editors, and people were using that? Or I think one question was like "What was the first language you learned?", so you kind of got to understand people better based on how old they w...
**Mat Ryer:** Yeah. You sort of just have to pick up the general vibes of people, I think, with this game.
**Steve Francia:** So - interesting fact... In the first Go user survey we had a bonus question, "What was your favorite Go keyword?" And I thought doing all these surveys would help me; that's the only one it helped me with, but... "go" and "defer" were both high on the list. I remember.
**Jon Calhoun:** I was something waiting for "else" to be on the list, even though "if" and "switch" weren't. I was just like, "If that's the case, it's just somebody trolling us."
**Mat Ryer:** \[44:07\] Some of the answers in some of the questions -- because we've asked loads of questions, so we have loads to choose from... And some of them are -- like, you wonder if people are trolling, or joking. And sometimes the joke answers - enough people say it that it makes it onto the board as well, be...
Speaking of that, we've got a couple of minutes... Steve, what have you been working on lately?
**Steve Francia:** I've been working on a lot of stuff lately, because that's what I do, I work on a lot of different stuff... But I know -- I'll just kind of talk about some things that we're working on. A lot of work getting ready for a generics release, which is coming up in the release in February... But the betas ...
I'm also meeting with a lot of our users. A good part of how I spend my day is meeting with companies and individuals and projects who have adopted Go, and just hearing their challenges and their successes...
**Mat Ryer:** Oh, nice.
**Steve Francia:** It's one of my favorite parts of my job, actually.
**Mat Ryer:** Yeah. Generics of course coming in 1.18 in February... Katie - also fuzzing is coming. First-class concern.
**Katie Hockman:** It is. I'm so, so excited that it's happening. I'm working very hard on documentation right now. We're kind of in the bug fix, and polish, and document phase... So I think it's gonna be important for it to land with docs, or it's not gonna land successfully if people can't use it. So that's the goal ...
**Mat Ryer:** That makes sense. I love the way that it interops with the existing testing stuff; our knowledge of writing unit tests can come in handy for writing fuzz tests. I think that's a kind of really nice advantage to the fact that it's getting first-class support, rather than being a sort of external tool.
**Katie Hockman:** Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, that was one of the main goals, and I'm glad you like that.
**Mat Ryer:** Yeah, I do. I really do. Well, thank you so much, it's been a pleasure. If our audience wants to learn more about Rob and Julie, check out our Go Time back-catalog, and also listen to future shows, because they'll definitely be on it, hopefully.
Thank you so much to everyone for joining this live feed, this game. A great time was had by all(most); a great time was had by most... And we'll see you next time. Bye everyone!
**Steve Francia:** Bye.
**Natalie Pistunovich:** Bye!
**Break:** \[46:44\]
**Jerod Santo:** I feel like I only really screwed up probably the tech/innovation one, which was the number one answer nobody got... I almost gave it when Jon said "Go", because that would be focused on like the tech, but it was more broad... I was struggling.
**Katie Hockman:** What about diversity is not culture? How is diversity and culture not the same? \[laughs\]
**Jerod Santo:** Well, yeah... I know, but you just said -- yeah, that was definitely specifically mentioned by a few people.
**Katie Hockman:** I see.
**Jerod Santo:** And I grouped it into like -- it was tough because there were so many... Like, "tech bros"... There were a lot of weird responses, so I kind of like put it in like the people and the culture. But when you said diversity specifically, I was kind of like "It would be too much of a mismatch with just the ...
**Katie Hockman:** Nah, that's fair. I'll allow it.
**Jerod Santo:** That one was.
**Julie Qiu:** I feel like I should have gotten the points when I said "fabulous"...
**Jerod Santo:** Oh, those were -- that one I didn't do any grouping, because that was like the easiest one, right? Because you can actually just like "Group by" and the actual words were... So I didn't do any grouping of the words. But on the --
**Mat Ryer:** Maybe we should like each question and then have a regex for the answer next time. So you have to do it in your head live, but...
**Jerod Santo:** Just do the regex live and apply it?
**Jon Calhoun:** I would not get any answers then, because I would never compose my regex right the first time...
**Jerod Santo:** Well, you can just have Mat write the regex, and then we can all criticize it on the air like we did last time with your team selection algorithm.
**Mat Ryer:** Which worked, yeah.
**Jerod Santo:** Which worked... \[laughs\]
**Mat Ryer:** Which worked.
**Jon Calhoun:** Yeah, that time you didn't even give us the opportunity.
**Natalie Pistunovich:** You are all saying regex, wow.
**Mat Ryer:** Well, what do you say?
**Natalie Pistunovich:** Reg ex.
**Katie Hockman:** I say reg ex...
**Mat Ryer:** Do you?
**Steve Francia:** Wait, what is it?
