Hello Portugal Gophers 🙌

In November we will be celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Go language, and we have prepared a very special event! 🥳

🙌 We will start with food and drinks and some networking!

🤜🤛 We will continue with a live stream with our Gopher Friends in London 🇬🇧

🥳 We will do a short intro on how and why Go was created, and the origin of PortugalGophers!

And now, on to this month's speaker...

🗣John Graham-Cumming (CTO, Cloudflare): "Everything old is new again"

"I'll talk about why I adopted Go in 2011. What worked and what didn't as we went from version 0.98 to a working version! And I'll discuss what Cloudflare uses Go for today and what we use Rust for."
