A humorous educational repository showing how the same factorial program evolves from junior to senior Go programmer styles, ending with Rob Pike's simple version. It is a tribute to the classic 'Evolution of a Programmer' joke.
Use cases
- learn idiomatic go by example
- see how go code style evolves with experience
- funny examples of overengineered go code
- introduction to go programming patterns
- teach junior developers to write simple go
When to choose
- you want a lighthearted introduction to idiomatic Go style
- you are teaching or mentoring new Go developers about simplicity
- you want a quick laugh about overengineering
When to avoid
- you need production-ready factorial or math code
- you want a comprehensive Go tutorial or course
- you need a maintained library with a license
