OP must be new to Go if he does not knows this website already. And the argument that people use in other submissions to justify a re-post or apparently irrelevant submissions does not works here because if you search "Go Examples" [1] in most web crawlers will return this website among the first results.

I didn't know about it and I'm glad someone posted the link.

It's common for old stories get reposted, and it's fine since it's impossible for everyone to be aware of everything all the time.


Everyone who at least couple of times googled for anything Go related knows this site. Should I post golang.org now, because there may be someone living under a rock?


I've been programming in Go for a few years now and I've never seen this site before.

It's quite possible that the specific search terms you use (eg I never include "example" when Googling about Go[1]) and Google's personalisation (eg favouring resources you've used previously) would result in different search results to what other people might receive.

[1] Since any resource offering help in programming will include example source code, I always considered the search term "example" to be redundant.


I have history turned off in google search. "golang slices" or "golang maps" has the site in top-5. vOv


Result #5 on a query that generic is quite far down when you consider that all of the top 4 results would equally answer the question. So many people might not get as far as gobyexample.com using your search term example.

Plus on queries that generic, a lot of people might just go straight to golang.org and re-read their docs.

Obviously this isn't the case for everyone, but it would explain why I've personally never heard of gobyexample.com before.
