I tried to go there to ask some questions while picking up the language, and what I got was RTFM, where manual includes the language specification, Effective Go book, and A Tour of Go. Apparently you're unfit to ask a question unless you know everything about the language already. Killed my excitement for learning the language.

What languages have nice IRCs? I ask b/c I was very pleasantly surprised by the extremely civil and noob-helpful #haskell.

Are there other nice ones out there? Good to know...

#elixir-lang is quite nice and noob friendly too.

Sounds like a sadly universal experience. It's really unfortunate — Go is an interesting language, but the place they tell beginners to go to interact with the community is so utterly toxic to anyone who wants to ask any kind of question.
