## Notes
|
|
# - libraries - source only, but can link to C *.so and *.a
|
|
# - Fork/Exec are coupled together (for coroutine and GC reasons)
|
|
# - Threading, and multiproc, concurrent logic
|
|
# -- nice and easy to use
|
|
# -- Make for tricky handling of C calls (i.e. setns)
|
|
# - `go get` is handy
|
|
# - cross-compile without hardly any bootstrapping
|
|
# -- native compiler supported arches
|
|
# -- gccgo works for the arch gcc is compiled for
|
|
# - primitives can seem a bit magical
|
|
# -- conditional returns
|
|
# -- for ... range
|
|
# -- iota
|
|
# - no ifdefs, but build tags
|
|
# - error handling, rather than exception catching

|
* Overview
|
|
|
|
- strongly typed
|
|
- compiled
|
|
- stylistically nice
|
|
- opinionated
|
|
|
|
* Good
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
.image ./rainbow.jpg
|
|
|
|
* fully qualified imports
|
|
|
|
.code ./talk/imports.go /START1/,/STOP1/
|
|
|
|
* fast compiles
|
|
|
|
(Perhaps other compilers are slow)
|
|
|
|
.play ./talk/hello.go /START1/,/STOP1/
|
|
|
|
* defer
|
|
|
|
.code ./talk/good0.go /START1/,/STOP1/
|
|
|
|
* Garbage Collected
|
|
|
|
- Super convenient
|
|
- references
|
|
- completed goroutines
|
|
|
|
* simple exports
|
|
|
|
.code ./talk/good1.go /START1/,/STOP1/
|
|
|
|
* concurrency
|
|
|
|
.play ./talk/pingpong.go /STARTMAIN1/,/STOPMAIN1/

.image ./kanye_imma_bookmarklet.png 320 _
|
|
|
|
- easy learning curve
|
|
- `go get`
|
|
- cross-compiles
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Bad
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
# they come along, and affect how you do your work
|
|
.image ./cats20.gif
|
|
|
|
* lack of generics?
|
|
# i don't feel strongly about this, though many do
|
|
- interfaces - are enough for most
|
|
- go1.4 introduced go:generate
|
|
# produce code for Set, Graph etc, for the types needed, but at compile time. No need to reflect.
|
|
|
|
* Debugging
|
|
|
|
- gdb is there, sort of
|
|
- some known debugging tools for ELF are not useful
|
|
- fmt.Printf("%#v\n", ...)
|
|
|
|
* Concurrency and GC
|
|
|
|
Calls like setns(2) are rough
|
|
|
|
|
|
(yes, even with runtime.LockOSThread())
|
|
|
|
* Fork/Exec
|
|
|
|
Not Separate, but together
|
|
|
|
* Ugly? (maybe just new)
|
|
|

|
.image ./revenge-of-the-nerds-o.gif
|
|
|
|
* build tags
|
|
|
|
.code ./talk/tags.go /START1/,/STOP1/
|
|
|
|
or files with *_linux.go like suffix
|
|
|
|
* _
|
|
|
|
bit bucket
|
|
|
|
* channels
|
|
|
|
.play ./talk/ugly0.go /START1/,/STOP1/
|
|
|
|
* iota
|
|
|
|
.code ./talk/ugly1.go /START1/,/STOP1/
|
|
|
|
* for range
|
|
|
|
array (or string)
|
|
|
|
.play ./talk/primitive1.go /START1/,/STOP1/
|
|
|
|
* for range
|
|
|
|
map
|
|
|
|
.play ./talk/primitive2.go /START1/,/STOP1/
|
|
|
|
* for range
|
|
|
|
channel (like an iterator)
|
|
|
|
.play ./talk/primitive3.go /START1/,/STOP1/
|
|
|
|
* for range
|
|
|
|
channel
|
|
|
|
.code ./talk/primitive3.go /START2/,/STOP2/
|
|
|
|
* Conclusions?
|
|
|
|
* use-case
|
|
|
|
- like all languages, align with you use-case
