Code reading
Back by popular demand, we’ll be doing a code reading activity in small groups.
Some suggestions:
- container/heap is a [heap data structure](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heap_(data_structure) interface provided by the Go standard library
- negroni is a middleware stack for Go (interpose is an alternative)
- gorilla/pat is a request router, and much simpler than gorilla/mux
- gorilla/context is a registry for request variables
