| * Introduction |
| |
| Programmers new to Go are often surprised by its support for function types, |
| functions as values, and closures. |
| The [[https://golang.org/doc/codewalk/functions/][First Class Functions in Go]] |
| code walk demonstrates these features with a simulation of the dice game |
| [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pig_(dice)][Pig]]. |
| It is a pretty program that uses the language to great effect, |
| and a fun read for Go beginners and veterans alike. |
