Slowly getting the grasp of Golang. But still learning about how to implement the twitter API in the bot, if you can provide any useful links for this, that'd be helpful!

Okay, so I have made some progress.. Here's the tweet function that I created this function for the tweet.. Not showing my tokens for obvious reasons..

func tweet(ID int64) {
//Initializing twitter API
config := oauth1.NewConfig("consumerKey", "consumerSecret")
token := oauth1.NewToken("accessToken", "accessSecret")
httpClient := config.Client(oauth1.NoContext, token)
Tclient := twitter.NewClient(httpClient)

tweets, resp, err := Tclient.Timelines.HomeTimeline(&twitter.HomeTimelineParams{
	Count: 1,
})
bot.Send(tbot.NewMessage(ID, tweets.Text))

}

But the error here is..

Now afaik, the type tweet in the twitter-go package does indeed contain a Text method, given here.. https://godoc.org/github.com/dghubble/go-twitter/twitter#Tweet

So this is the progress so far, but if you can check it out a little, that'd be great too, otherwise it's just almost done I guess.
