As a U of MN alum, I am horribly disappointed that this is about Go.
As a U of ND alum, I quite happy this is about Go. :)
I thought that too. Was curious about the people who fled the Eternal September the Web has become, returning to the good old Gopher without popup ads and CSS drop-shadows.
Perhaps, at least, someone in attendance will present a Gopher server/client written in Go?
