Hi all, I've been thinking a lot about that lately and can't seem to find an answer on my own. I would be soooooo glad and fulfilled if I could contribute to the go project. However, I am wondering about whether or not it is my lack of knowledge of the go language that prevents me from taking the step.
/* Skip this part, boring I mean, I have read a lot of the go source code, including the last version of the language. I know how maps work, I mean globally, I know things about the garbage collector, I know things about go assembly (maybe more than in some other themes, since it seems reallyyyyyyyy interesting for me), I know things about lexing, parsing, and compiling (but not much yet). I have developped several projects in Go (from really small to huge ones), I've worked on a real-time bidder (for advertising), I've worked on many different DB systems, Redis, MySQL, ElasticSearch... I've implemented cool things like conditional loggers, an ncurse snake game, an implementation of the encoding/json library (that is probably clearly not as good as the existing one since it was purely for fun, but I did it ^^ ). In fact, I really want to contribute to the go project, for many many reasons, most of which I think you will refer to (I am talking to the go community (in terms of development)). */ You can start again here 1. I love this project, I think it is going to go far further (yes, this choice of words) than many other languages, and I wanna be part of this world-wide change. 2. I think (subjectively, and clearly it looks like a mistake) that I can bring new ideas and concepts to the project itself. 3. I feel like we should all be part of such things. Projects that can be "world-changers", open-source, community-open, change-ready. And here I am not only referring to go, I am also referring to Unix systems, Kubernetes, Docker... And so many others I just can't find easily right now. So here is the question I am asking here: How did you guys know when you were like "ready" to contribute to the project and suggest changes, advance knowlegde and all of that? PS: to bring some clarity to this post, I am 22, I have like 4 years of experience in programming, a little in C, Java, C++, Python, but mostly in Go. I'm from France so please forgive my bad english. Thank you all in advance for your time and consideration.
