RE: [Nolug] Go

Hi Brett.

Will do. I seem to recall that it uses a shared memory model. I've seen some
pro's and con's regarding shared memory vs messaging (as in Erlang and Go).
Indeed, one of the Go sayings is: "Don't communicate by sharing memory.
Instead, share memory by

communicating."

Actually I'm interested in concurrent (threads, co-routines), parallel
(multi-process, multi-core), and distributed (multi-machines). I want it all!

John,

I would encourage you to look at OpenMP. GCC supports it for C/C++ and
Fortran.

Hi Joe.

It's a relatively new language which some Google people designed as a
replacement for C and possibly other systems languages. Besides a simpler,
cleaner syntax it includes built-in primitives for concurrency.

At the moment my interest is mainly academic. I'm interested in languages
which make it easier to take advantage of multi-core processors.

Never heard of it. Is there a particular problem or idea that you are trying
to match with software, paradigm, or are you looking at it from a academic
point of view?

Hi.

I'm also looking at the programming language Go. I was wondering if anyone
here was using it?
