What do your tests reveal?

Re: Go 1.6 is Released
#72I can't wait to see what's new in 1.6! I really had a pleasure working with Go for my senior project last year. If I need to write either a server (HTTP or TCP/UDP), or a client application that must be easy to build and distribute, Go is my first choice. What Go is lacking at this moment in my opinion is: 1) A comprehensive and mature web framework. Play w/ Scala is my go-to choice now, with Django a very close seco…

I completely agree here. GIN is my fav framework so far, but it falls down sometimes on documentation and also on features. A lot of features.
I know there are three viewpoints with Go.
1) Use net/http and just import libraries.
2) Use a "lightweight" framework if you must, just import libraries.
3) Use a "full fat" framework and get to work on the app.
I would love to have something like where Codeigniter was for PHP. An MVC framework where you could just write code, it was lightweight and had the best documentation for a framework out there.
Now if something like that was out there for Go and actively maintained. I would be all over that!

Re: Go 1.6 is Released
#74There was some discussion leading up to the release about whether to merge the "SSA" branch, which seems to be a refactor that allows for easier compile time optimisations but also slows compile times for the time being.
Does anyone know if that was included in this release?

#75Earlier quoted context omitted.
Thanks, it turns out I actually starred that already. A bit off topic: why isn't there (or is there?) an easy way to view all your starred repos on Github and search through them?
Does https://github.com/stars not work for you?
Exactly what I was looking for! I have no idea why I never noticed that. Thanks.

#76Go checks a lot of boxes for my ideal language for developing web services: Static type, C derived, has garbage collection, generates a single binary, supports concurrency very well, is opinionated, is small/simple, its community prefers to just use standard lib for most work, etc. Yes, Generics is an issue and so is debugging. But, overall, I can't think of many other options that check so many boxes. EDIT: I must h…
Java SE and a fat jar... checks all the boxes and has generics and superior tooling. I still don't get the Go love.
Java doesn't exactly check the box of a community that prefers the use of standard libraries for most work. Java community is all about Frameworks with a Big, MVC, F where you need only 200 lines of code and XML for an hello world :P

The JVM is awesome. Not a big fan of Java as a language. The 'less is more' is lost on most Java programmers I know of.
Golang fits in nicely in such cases. If I want the JVM, I rather build a clojure'ified uberjar.

#78Can someone give a decent explanation of the following:
1) Supposed I have a library that was written in C that receives a security update which is used in a Go program. Under what conditions do I need to get a recompiled version of the Go program.
2) Supposed I have a library that was written in Go that receives a security update which is used in a Go program. Under what conditions do I need to get a recompiled version of the Go program.
3) Is there a way to tell from the binary that the program was written in Go?
Trying to figure this out for my Sys Admin dealing with Vendors role.

I don't like Oracle. I don't like the JVM. I refuse to learn Java because I personally have a strong bias for native, compiled code. In fact, I really dislike everything about the Java way of programming. The mental image of a huge ram sucking IDE with code completion for frameworks is simply incompatible with what I would consider the ideal creative process for me as programmer. That being said, if I were starting a…

Java has long been my primary professional language, and over the past few years Go has taken on a strong secondary niche at my job. I'm big fan of both, and tend to play Switzerland in arguments between them.
That being said, the best Go IDE out there right now is the official Go plugin for IntelliJ... which again, happens to be the best Java IDE out there. If you are doing modern software development in ANY language, then you are probably traveling one of three paths:
(1) Using an IDE based on JetBrains or Eclipse.
(2) Using a variant of Microsoft Visual Studio, which is about an order of magnitude more bloated than #1.
(3) Using a plain text editor, which for a typesafe language is a bit daft.

#80The reason I love Go is that every time I pull it out, I write a small amount of it and it runs beautifully. For example my company has a critical micro-service implemented in ~300 lines of Go, it's been running for six months now without a single hiccup, highly performant, very sexy. The reason I will almost never use Go for web apps is because interaction with databases is limited (almost entirely) to raw queries.…
Just build yourself some simple mappers with hand written queries, and you've got better performing code than any ORM will ever give you. Honestly, the biggest problem I find with most webapps performance I've worked is on caused by terrible queries written by the ORM.
