Should also note that the "arrays are values" thing doesn't actually matter in practice. I've written a wide variety of go code in the last > 4 years and I can only think of two pl…

" I just notice this section has been removed. I'll be less angry now. :)

This is very much false: While this will return immediately: v, ok :=

> Your modified Go server doesn't return "Pong" for "Ping". The program doesn't read the result, so it doesn't matter. Returning Pong isn't harder, but why write all that code if i…

It's not obvious to me what that does. Does that only service one of the 100 clients or one of their 10,000 pings each? Or both?

Did you consider running the go client against the scala server and vice versa? Also, that's kind of a lot of code. Here's my rewrite of the server: http://play.golang.org/p/hKztKK…

We've done a few of them here. Notably: * http://cbgb.io/ * http://dustin.github.io/2012/09/09/seriesly.html * https://github.com/couchbaselabs/sync_gateway cbgb is an API compatib…

I have no idea what my response was about. As I said, I was pretty sick that day. Sorry you had to type all this stuff to explain to me that I'm a moron. :)

Then why isn't that the default?

> but I think " And what looks even better: defer close(doneChannel) (it's also syntactically correct -- you ca't just have a defer block without a function invocation)

Or turning that around, do you think it requires all 8 of my cores to copy data over the network? Do you think the two lines of code + justification text provides sufficient value …

Here's the version I threw together in (what it says here), 12 minutes: https://gist.github.com/dustin/5478818

There's so much code here. If I weren't sick, I'd submit a new version that: 1. Didn't reimplement io.Copy 2. Didn't avoid io.TeeReader 3. Didn't do weird things to avoid regular c…

goroutines are not threads because thread means something and goroutine means something else.

What else would I use? I've been writing tons of go code for nearly three years now. I get fast, concurrent, parallel code in very little time. I was pretty much production-ready w…

This is great feedback. You seem to get what I'm going for. Thoughts on your specific items: 1. I could probably prioritize the query/doc processing and get most of this out of the…

What kinds of advanced things are you wanting to accomplish?

There are two hard things in computer science. The next blog post I'm planning is related to cache management.

Whisper (backend for graphite), cube, ganglia... possibly more. I used to build things directly on top of rrdtool, but the schema definition can be a pain when you've got a lot of …

I think there are some good ones. I wrote this because I could get it running faster than I could get the data I've got adapted to existing ones. That doesn't mean they're bad as m…

BTW, my demo site is running in my bedroom on a slow ARM5-based debian box over my terribly slow DSL. If things get slow, that's why. The web server itself is a homemade http serve…

The two ways (C90 and C99) you can create a variable length item at the end of a structure in C are invalid C++. You can't express them at all. I work around it by making a one ele…

go1 has been my goto language for a while now. I don't even understand why, but everything makes a lot of sense. It compiles about as fast as python and I have an easy time making …

So you have a good trainer and a bad yoga teacher?
