"SHENZHEN GO" (working title)
SHENZHEN GO (working title) is an experimental visual Go environment,
inspired by programming puzzle games such as TIS-100 and SHENZHEN I/O.
SHENZHEN GO provides a UI for editing a "graph," where the nodes are
goroutines and the arrows are channel reads and writes. (This is analogous
to multiple "microcontrollers" communicating electrically in a circuit.)
It can also convert a graph into pure Go source code, which can be compiled
and run, or used as a library in a regular Go program.
SHENZHEN GO was unveiled at
the linux.conf.au 2017 Open Source & Games Miniconf.

This is not an official Google product.
This is an experimental project - expect plenty of rough edges and bugs, and
no support.
For discussions, there is a Google Group and a Slack channel.
