Consumable content aside, I absolutely love the format of the tutorial. It's significantly more pleasant to dig into compared to what seems to be the more common tutorial format (e.g. [1]).

Good work.

Thank you so much! :) I also found that a blog format is much easier to consume than a REPL/in-browser editor based one.

It is, but the tutorial could have made good use of pagination or anchors, so one could bookmark where one has left off.

Also: What's the deal with "the cow above"?

I think thats a joke on the cow printed on the ORielly book (also about React)

Yes, I am going to implement pagination next (with React)!

That's really funny, I'm always lamenting that I can't find tutorials as nice as the golang tour for other languages.

I find the prose format nicer because it's easier to keep going, but the Go REPL has more information density. Guess it comes down the preference.

I like the golang tut because it works incredibly well on a phone.
