The Life of a Completely Blind Programmer in the Netherlands

I strive to respect everybody’s personal preferences, so I usually steer clear of debates about which is the best programming language, text editor or operating system. However, recently I was asked a couple of times why I like and use a lot of Go, so here is a coherent article to fill in the blanks of my ad-hoc in-person ramblings :-).

I really love the Go programming language, it feels like a mix of the best of Java and Python put together. But I found that setting a Go development environment can be slightly tricky, mostly in figuring out how to set up the proper path variables. Here, I provide a short guide on how to set up a Go development environment with Sublime Text 3 on Ubuntu/Linux. I hope it saves you (and my future-self) time when installing, updating, or re-installing the development environment.
