That's very interesting, two comments:

- Automatic black box with autocomplete is a deal breaker for me. It'll drive me mad.

- I only use the mouse in the terminal if I have to (it disturbs and slows my flow!). So anything that helps me NOT using the mouse would be better.

Although it is a good guide to understand how to use the language itself, thanks to the stability of the language, it says little about the libraries and nothing about significant changes to the Go ecosystem since it was written, such as the build system, testing, modules, and polymorphism.
