right now i'm in the early stages of writing a go (aka weiqi/baduk) server in the vein of online-go.com. i want to learn how to make game servers, and go is the simplest game that i play regularly so it seemed like a good choice. it also seemed like a good choice for Elixir, the language i use at work. i know a lot of other online game services use it. and when it comes time to write the front end i would like to try Elm again, but it's still a long road before i get to that point.
