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. :-)

Yes, I remember Waite Group. :-)

Well, simply said public domain and I do not have to worry. :-)

I like to add, I am not a programmer like you. 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.
