RE: [Nolug] Go

I plan on doing that, probably with some compute-bound task (easier and more
deterministic). Just as soon as I learn a bit more about Go.

Btw - a coroutine in Go is called a goroutine. J

Also: Both Go and Haskell are still evolving, but they are formally released
and very stable. From what I read they both are "ready for prime time" and
are being used in a number of places for production code. They are available
on multiple platforms and come with a normal assortment of tools. The 3rd
party libraries (always a good measurement) are respectable sizes, too.

One of the blogs at the site says that it is geared for concurrent programming
and not parallelism (http://blog.golang.org/concurrency-is-not-parallelism).

It would be interesting to write a 'go' application that handles alot of
request and see if it distributes it across the cores.

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?
