I see a lot of these dismissive corrections when talking about Go and Gophers and just wondered how relevant the original gopher protocol was in your day to day? Like, when did you last request data using gopher?
I mainly read "phlogs" though, but there is generally a lot of stuff to read when bored.
Care to join #gopherproject @freenode? I think I found a small display bug.
Obviously, not many people still use the protocol, it has been almost entirely replaced by http. However, I used it a ton back in the early 90s. It was way more useful than the early web.
