patientfrog··on Ask HN: Any Go players here? (Not the language)
I learned go (igo) a number of years ago while living in Japan, and when I returned to the US had trouble finding people to play with.

Ever since online-go.com started I have been getting back into it. I love being able to play asynchronously.

My username on that site is "rob.doherty.127" I'm happy to play anyone beginner to advanced (I am an intermediate level player).

Thanks

patientfrog··on Ask HN: Why is there not a Go specific IDE?
There's a plugin for intellij, but I suspect most folks just use a text editor.
