The way you have to do math with vectors without operator overloading available in Go is quite cumbersome.

I am a huge Go fan and I figured this out working on the raytracer in a weekend project using Go.

You built a raytracer in a weekend? That's kind of impressive :P

It took me a week or so.

Now that I know what is going on I could do it in a couple days with additional libraries. I didnt use the popular Go vector library.
