Another digest (now Go)

Hello to all fans and fans of Go. This is the 6th edition of a digest of links and news about the growing language. Do not consider it a blatant attempt to promote a resource on which I regularly publish news all about the same Go. All subsequent issues of "tulzovin and horseradish" will be published on 4gophers.com . In addition, at the request of workers, there is now a subscription to the newsletter.

The theme for this issue is GopherCon 2014. This is the biggest Go conference this year. Perhaps some of the readers were personally present and can tell about their impressions. I try to collect all the reports and materials found on the network in this post .
