Golang


The Unix philosophy

Published:

One of the quiz exercises at the Golang meetup yesterday demonstrated probaby my favourite idiom of the language - Do not communicate by sharing memory; instead, share memory by communicating. Its nice to be reminded of this simple and powerful idea over and over again. My first direct encounter with Golang came when debugging a network service at $work. This was the first time I had to read Go code beyond the simplest of examples and to my great surprise I found it to be a fairly straightforward undertaking.
