[Golist] A talk about GoPhysics

[Joel Stransky]

very good points Jan.
I didn't consider the pulse alone being used as a timer. I guess that only
leaves the question of how to utilize as much of Go as possible ie. easing,
overlap monitoring, errors etc.

I've actually got another class in mind that I may be able to get done in
time for flashbelt. But then I'd like to work on this. In the mean time if
anyone has ideas for what type of syntax they'd like to see let 'em rip.
