anyone know what the time complexity of the append function is?
It is amortized O(1). When the append needs to grow the slice, it does so by a multiplicative factor.

There are a handful of people answering this question (unprompted) on this very page.

> I'm still wishing that we could embed Go into a multithreaded c application, just like we can with the JVM and Mono. I would like to use Go as a "scripting" language. What?
I believe the post is referring to something like http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/jni/sp...
I was not aware that was possible... A little terrifying, actually.

#76Well, they got (at least) one thing exactly right: Doing away with the "toolchain". Having one command that can figure out how to build your code, including downloading external dependencies, is really nice. Pity about the whole "not having generics" thing though.
With interfaces, it's pretty simple to replicate patterns like a Container or Channel, to borrow common Java syntax. Personally, I like how it forces you to think about parametricity whenever you want polymorphism, like most functional languages.

#77Does Go support Win32 development?
It does.
Re: Go version 1 is released
#78"We're announcing Go version 1, or Go 1 for short" I foresee the next version being considered harmful.
Or they can label versions like sun, so that nobody will know for sure if they're using Go 2 or Go 1.2 or Go Enterprise Edition or Go Standard...
Or they could label versions like LaTeX, using a mathematical constant's decimal places.
For root 2: Version 1, Version 1.4, Version 1.41, etc.

But, unless I'm missing something, it's missing the supporting bits you get in a nice functional language, like algebraic datatypes and pattern matching, which make that style much more pleasant.
Of course, most of the functional language DO have generics, and full type inference to boot, also.

Yes.
