Finally reviving my blog! Wrote a few thousand words about one of the most notorious bugs we encountered when porting tsc to Go: accidental variable shadowing.

It's a pleasure to write go/analysis passes, and I was really happy with the results of my shadow analyzer.

Please enjoy the CFG diagrams!
