Hello, I'm back using and supporting USENET strong, but notice a lack of modern topics, I am glad gemini protocol got added, I enjoy it and check everyday, very excited, but when it comes to computer languages, I am
active on C but is lacking GO, RUST etc... specially I am bias I will
love a GO group where I share my finds and have conversations with other
GO programmers specially if they are into cybersecurity.
What does everyone think? I was reading: https://www.big-8.org/wiki/How_to_Create_a_New_Big-8_Newsgroup
and it ask to start an "informal" discussion so here I am.
Happy Hacking.

The suggestion in the document you cite is "1. (optional) The proponent
may start an informal discussion in news.groups.proposals, news.groups, >and/or in related groups about the proposed group." Given the low >participation in news.groups.proposals, I think you will get more
comments here in news.groups. Even better would be a discussion in >"related groups" that would demonstrate that there are actually people
who are interested in the topic and would participate in a Usenet newsgroup.
Even better would be the proponent making himself known for actually discussing the topic in an existing newsgroup in threads in which other people participate in discussing the topic.

If you don't see discussion on Usenet that you want to read then it's
your responsibility to start it.
Usenet dies because each and every regular reader waits for someone else
to start discussion.

What would be a related newsgroup ? comp.lang.misc perhaps ? But my >experience is that there people tend to discuss custom made languages
or general issues of language design rather than specific languages
which do not have a dedicated comp.lang.* group.

If you don't see discussion on Usenet that you want to read then it's
your responsibility to start it.
(generic) You want to discuss it somewhere where it's topical.
If not , chances are you'll get flamed , you'll annoy people and you
won't achieve anything.

Usenet is a niche interest and likely to remain
so but I don't anticipate it dying for decades.
Even better would be the proponent making himself known for actually discussing the topic in an existing newsgroup in threads in which other people participate in discussing the topic.
I do however think that, no matter how this proposal goes, we should
start threads in Usenet groups about Go because I'd be happy to
participate in them. I write lots of Go (recently even NNTP-related Go
code) and would be happy to discuss with other Go enthusiasts.
OP feel free to start Go discussions. I'd be more than happy to join
in when time permits.
I'm taking the chance to ask here whether you or the OP have already
started any discussion somewhere else. Otherwise I'll start one myself.

I have not. Feel free to make one, cross-post here, and I'll join in.
Hold it. Do not crosspost GO programming language discussion to
news.group. Post it in an appropriate miscellaneous programming language discussion group tagged [GO] to make it more prominent. Try to get
discussion going first, then decide if there is enough discussion to
warrant a specific group.

I don't intend to have a discussion here but if I'm not aware which
group the discussion is being created in, how would I ever find the discussion? I had only intended the cross-post to be a way to
"originate" the discussion but if you have a more appropriate Usenet
way of things I'm interested.
