[VicPiMakers General] go-lang basics OR python dev workflow?

[Craig Miller]

Greg,

While it is true that there is a big difference between making a script 
(python or otherwise) for yourself or for others, I contend that it is 
good to always had some documentation (in the form of help), if nothing 
other than to give yourself help in figuring out how to run your script 
a year or more later.

I have found ShellCheck <https://www.shellcheck.net/> to be very helpful 
in writing shell scripts as it finds errors in code that are not on the 
main program path. Also it helps in cleaning up the code to make it more 
readable. I am sure there are similar programs for python.

As for learning more about go, I would like to see a presentation on 
that. So far my only interaction with go was to compile galene (a video 
conf system, like Jitsi, but _way_ easier to setup) inside a linux 
container running on Pi 3b+. Worked great!
