Markov chain algorithm in Go

Various kinds of Markov models are pretty interesting and have many interesting applications that are not too complicated, it's a pity this particular example is being done to death, since it doesn't give much insight into the topic. Shannon's classic paper on information theory is very readable and shows the usefulness of the concept:

Yes! - read the paper. Or if you are too "busy" on HN, at least skip to sections I.3. THE SERIES OF APPROXIMATIONS TO ENGLISH and I.4. GRAPHICAL REPRESENTATION OF A MARKOFF PROCESS.
