Do you think Golang is a good first programming language? For people that have zero experience in development, but would like to understand core concepts of programming they can later apply to other similar languages.

Oh, wow, hard question, really I don't know I think any language is a good language for understanding core concepts of programming because all concepts are similar (like flow control or computer logic). But I accept exist better languages for the introduction to programming mind, (e.g. python) I suppose it is good because of its simplicity and versatility. Go have very intuitive reserved words and that makes simplicity to Go, but also it has deep concepts that you need to practice to master that. Finally, I'm not sure but I think that exist better languages for start to learn programming core concepts, for me that language is python.
