🗣⚡ Tom Godkin - go-functional: A Functional Paradigm Implementation in Go
Ever wanted to write Go like Haskell? Probably not, but that didn‘t stop me trying! In this lightning talk I’ll give an overview of go-functional, what writing functional-like code in Go could look like, why you might (and might not) want to do this and the limitations on doing something like this within Go.
https://github.com/BooleanCat/go-functional🗣 Lula Leus - The Three Ages of Go Concurrency
Go concurrency goes high brows in this talk. Learn about different concurrency primitives and their real-world applications while drawing allegorical parallels with the 'Three Ages of Man' art theme. The art adds a much-needed splash of colours and vibrancy to the experience of learning concurrency.
☕ Break 🥐
🗣 Sam Burns - Go Quantum
This talk is an extremely brief introduction to quantum computing in Go. It will cover: - What is quantum computing? - Where can I run my code on a real quantum computer? - How can I use a simulated quantum computer in Go?

7:00pm: Talks Start
🗣⚡ José - From String to Bytes
I‘ve noticed in my workplace that even some engineers seasoned with Go don’t have a strong mental model around UTF-8, Unicode, and how they fit into Go. Thus, I think it‘d be valuable to make the connection between string, bytes, and runes, UTF-8, and Unidoce, and how they all tie together.
🗣⚡ Daniel Martí - cmd/go tricks you might not know about
A collection of tricks and features with cmd/go such as go test flags, different ways to build binaries, different methods to investigate what a build is doing, and even ways to inspect how the compiler optimizes your code. Mostly in the form of live demoing, keeping it interactive.
☕ Break 🥐
🗣 Rafet Ongun - Integration Tests with Godog and Testcontainers
Benefits of integration testing and how we do it using Godog and Golang-testcontainers at Deliveroo. Includes a live demo.
