Easiest way for me to learn Elasticsearch was through queries generated by Kibana [1] and playing with them inside Sense [2]. Kibana relies on Facets, version elasticsearch 1.0 introduces Aggregations, I would suggest using aggregations for your projects.

Is it possible to extract repeating patterns? example would be extracting repo name, number of stars, language and project description from GitHub Archive daily digests.

It is not possible to extract something (today) that would be generated inside a for loop. I'd be curious if anyone has ideas on how you might do that.

If you need support for more complex emails and extraction rules, you might look into using http://mailparser.io/.

Has anyone checked out serf http://www.serfdom.io/ if yes what are the pros and cons of etcd and serf?

GoSublime [1] is also an awesome plugin if you write Go code.

> why is there a hardcoded date marked 2006.01.02-15.04.05 there??

Date is not hardcoded, it's Go's convention of formatting date [1]

The best TODO tool for me is pen & a paper. Silence is also the best music I have found to listen to while working :)

I would highly suggest watching Rob Pike's [1] talks [2] on youtube about Go.

Why POST for the api? This should be a simple GET.

It's sort of a joke for April Fools day. I have a very strange sense of humor...

We need a project similar to TodoMVC [1] for benchmarking different languages and frameworks.
