What is this?

Hi.
My name is Magnús Örn Gylfason and I will be posting some Go code on this blog.

I'm doing this both as a way to learn Go and also as a bit of a homage to one of my favourite programming books, Higher-Order Perl (by Mark Jason Dominus, published by Morgan Kaufmann Publishers, Copyright 2005 by Elsevier Inc.) I highly recommend it even if you don't write Perl code (which I don't).

The code will also be available at https://github.com/mg/hog.

My native tongue is Icelandic so I will be heavily depending on Google Chrome's spelling checker to get me through this, please feel free to point out any spelling mistakes (or other kinds of mistakes) I make.

You can contact me both on Google+ and Twitter.
