What language did you pick? I did this year in Rust again to re-teach me about it :-)

Go, because we already use a lot of it at work and it makes writing tests easy. Trying to force myself into doing TDD

Nice. Makes sense to enhance your Golang experience, and TDD is a discipline I'd love to have myself but have never quite managed to force myself into it.

I lost out on a job partly because in the coding tests I didn’t use TDD :-/

Interesting. There's a lot of pro's to TDD but also potentially a lot of con's (my boss dislikes its tendency to generate more rigid internal structures since it (in his mind) over-encourages unit testing, not that it has to)
