Hello, Gophers Rob Pike's opening keynote of GopherCon 2014

The history and evolution of Hello World, a program that I have taken for granted, was just as fascinating as the evolution of go.

Those little pieces of boilerplate that become invisible to the experienced coder--the main function, the placement of parentheses--have years of careful consideration behind them, as Rob Pike demonstrated.

An excellent and illuminating keynote.
