How good is go compare to c/c++ ? ( in terms of speed especially ? ) Can we now say that Google Chrome can be written in Go and it will be faster and/or stable ? ( not saying it is not already. ). Congrats to the team, just started using go yesterday and loving it.
Anyone care to share their experience writing something in go? I've toyed with it but not built anything in production. FWIW, the go dashboard ( https://godashboard.appspot.com/ ) has a number of interesting projects.
We used it to write our own simple distributed computing software after realizing hadoop was too complicated (and thus bug prone) for our embarrassingly parallel needs. It took us less time to get the system written, stable and up and running then it had to get hadoop setup (different developers so not a fair comparison but still). It feels like python with the good parts of C on linux (most things are file like obje…
Well, 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.
Plus, you pay the overhead of boxing.

The day Androïd will be written in go, we will see a significant performance boost and battery lifetime extension. I don't program for Androïd just because I can't bare eclipse. An IDE as simple and efficient as QtCreator would generate a conversion tsunami.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Somebody really just needs to clone Apple's input method on Linux and Windows. Then you don't need to copy and paste — "é" is just one more keystroke than normal "e", option-e-e. This alone solves probably 95% of the international issues I encounter to the satisfaction of everyone involved.
On X11, the keymap can be set to "US International" which is the same as a stock US layout but with deadkeys and an AltGr key. I find it to be even easier than Apple's input method.

You're right, I should have mentioned that. I admit to only having learned about that recently, but it didn't sound quite right to me. You really like it better? As I understand it, the US International keymap makes any character that might be used as a deadkey always act as a deadkey, right? Because that sounds a little annoying for programming. In a Ruby program, even a French or Spanish one, probably most of the `…
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. I have seen a thread in the mailing list that someone was working on it on a personal basis, but I can't find it anymore. It doesn't seem to be in high demand.
Why not just write all of it in Go?

répertoire Never gave much thought to Go's UTF8 support, but this makes me think that it might've been better limited just to the string literals. The last thing I want is to patch other person's code by copy-pasting original variable and function names, because all I have is a standard US keyboard locale.
Learn how to use your ALT-keys.

Technically, it looks good to me. The toolchain is excellent. It looks ready for production. Programming in it is fun. It fixes most issues of compiled languages. Go has mostly replaced Haskell, for me.
