Go &mdash; Journal from Kotnik https://nikola.kotur.org/tag:Go Nikola's thoughts and discoveries Mon, 04 May 2026 16:21:42 +0000 My plan for 2021 https://nikola.kotur.org/my-plan-for-2021 <![CDATA[Here we go, as unrewarding - and dangerous - it can be, I would like to look at 2021 ahead of us and make some decisions. Those I didn't make just now, it's been cooking in me for a while now, but making it this public, regardless of how many people will read it (probably more bots will, but that's something too), I am making a stand and also it will serve as fun reading in some 12 months after this. What is it that I will invest my energy this year? First of all a language. French language that is. I live in France and I want to perfect it, since I still largely use English due to work. There's one more language I want to tackle: the #Go programming language. To perfect it too. I've been based in #PHP and #Python for too long, and my vast experience in 6510 assembler is not going to be useful a lot this year. I've been following people who started playing with it and they are already creating wonderful projects only few months down the learning road. I want to go on that road too. The last point I will focus on is #blockchain. More specifically smart contracts most probably in #Ethereum virtual machine. It fascinates me for quite some time and, aside some baby steps, I haven't spent much time investigating and discovering that space. So there it is, the whole plan. Sprinkle it with many smaller side-projects and I have 12 fun months ahead of me. ]]> Here we go, as unrewarding – and dangerous – it can be, I would like to look at 2021 ahead of us and make some decisions.
