If you are transitioning into Go from a language like Python or Ruby, at some point or another you are going to start missing one of the many helper functions offered by the language. The most recent example of this for me was when I wanted to shuffle a slice. In Ruby this is as simple as calling the shuffle method. array = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] array.shuffle # shuffles the array!
