## What it is
A curated collection of small, standalone Go example programs covering everything from beginner syntax to advanced concurrency, generics, WebAssembly, and runtime tracing. It includes an online browser-based editor for running the examples interactively.

## Use cases
- learn Go programming from scratch
- see examples of Go concurrency patterns
- understand modern Go features like generics and iterators
- find example code for CGO and cryptography in Go
- run Go code in the browser to experiment
- learn TinyGo for microcontrollers
- study structured logging with slog
- prepare for a Go interview with example problems

## When to choose
- you are learning Go and want runnable, focused examples
- you want to see idiomatic usage of the latest Go language features
- you need a browser playground to try Go without installing anything
- you teach Go and want a structured beginner-to-expert curriculum

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready library or framework to import
- you want comprehensive documentation rather than example snippets
- you need examples for a language other than Go

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: developer-tools, interpreter, concurrency, testing, benchmarking, cryptography, image-processing, wasm
- domain: programming-languages, education, tutorials, developer-tools
- platform: go, cross-platform, browser, cli, wasm
- tags: golang, examples, learning, education, howto, tinygo, hacktoberfest, algorithms
