Slack-Bot-Age-Calculator 🖩

Slack-Bot is a communication tool used by developers and companies to share information and communicate. It has grown very popular in recent years.

In this Golang project , we’re building a slack bot that calculates age. To calculate a person’s age in years we just have to take the difference between the current year and their birth years.
