Hello World – The first and obvious post

Why I’m here

As I began tinkering with a new Apple Silicon based Mac, my first thought was that I needed to write down my findings on what’s working and what’s not working in my everyday nerdiness. While thinking that, I had a friend ask me about how compatible stuff is. So here we are.

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
    fmt.Println("hello world")
}

As of this time of writing, Apple M1 is not officially supported by Go. However, in February 2021 Go 1.16 will be released with full support. Meanwhile, we can use Go 1.16beta prebuilt binary.
