When readers used to ask me where they could find the past and present of Go, we would tell them to look at issues and proposals. But the data is a bit scattered and there is no indexing system. As a result, many new readers get lost in reading, or get stopped in the first step of finding information.

Recently, @Changkun quietly released Go: A Documentary, A collection of interesting (and publicly visible) questions, discussions, proposals, CLS, and presentations from the Go development process, with the goal of providing A comprehensive reference to the history of Go.

Personally, I think this material is very valuable, which is equivalent to the data index organized by The God of Europe. I strongly recommend readers who are interested in Go to read it:
