Yes, and it happens more and more to people and regarding culture (in western countries) don't get me started on a whole new topic and my opinion about this. :-) > >> The thing or someone like zeynep to do is to collaborate with your > >> community to pay for a huge disk, and download all the books to the > >> disk and share them offline with your friends.

When I started trying to learn programming it was when I purchased my Atari 800XL and a friend gave me an Assembly language cartridge to play with it. An older person back then taught it to us, but I found it boring and really time-consuming. Later came Basic and K&R C Language but also lost interest. My interest in Golang came from a well-known person in privacy circles who started many years ago with Golang, I found it interesting and later noodled around with it. So, when something interests me I do it in Golang. The advantage for me is that Golang, regarding crypto, has always many such libraries and I think the language is easy to learn. What I also like about Golang is that in my city the Golang club has over 2000 young members, which I think is really awesome. To add to this I also have no time to dive deep into programming. I do other things too, like Computer Graphics and 3D printing. Regards Stefan
