It’s been a while since I’ve worked on GoForGo. I hadn’t gotten around to maintaining it and didn’t realize there was a little interest about it on the repo.

I’ve made some updates and fixes and I thought I’d list them down here.

1. You do not need the repo to install goforgo. go install github.com/stonecharioteer/goforgo will install the tool for you. The exercises and solutions are embedded into the binary.
2. The TUI has an auto-advance command so it will always advance to the next exercise once you’re done with the one you’re working on.
3. Logical ordering is a little better, control statements now show up before functions, which makes more sense if you’re trying to learn the language from the ground up.
4. Some of the comments are cleaned up so they don’t reveal the solution right away.
5. Added about 50 new exercises, mostly go-gotchas and nuances. I’ve tacked them onto the end, but I’m okay with them being there.

Here are some screenshots of the current state of the tool:

I’m going to be testing it out a lot more in the upcoming weeks, but I am glad this little tool I made for myself is turning out useful for others.
