Never before has a programming language received so much marketing. It's very odd.

It's mainly binary to JSON conversion, and firing that out over HTTP a few thousand times a second. That's the only IO. Goroutines look very interesting, and as I said, ASIO (C++ async networking) is a real pain to work with. But there are latency requirements here. Something that previously took 1ms cannot now take 10ms.

It's very clearly anti-Trump (I live in the UK). As for the article, there's this part:

"The president was criticised for ordering authorities to forcibly remove peaceful protesters from a square outside the White House so he could cross the street to take a photo in front of a church."

Wasn't it the AG that ordered the protesters to be moved?

Either way, who cares. This is HN, not reddit (although sometimes I wonder)

It's so sad to see the BBC caught up in all this. It used be a reputable news source, the BBC World Service was just that - listened to the world over.

Now it's this.

What are your usecases, if you don't mind me asking? I am considering replacing our HTTP-heavy processes currently written in C++ with Go. However, after reading this thread I'm not so sure. Compilation time isn't that big of an issue for us, but having a simpler way of doing networking would be a win. I can't tell if that ease of use would be trumped by poor performance.

This is a very interesting at a time when we're seeing what we can replace C++ with.

(yes, rusticles, I know rust exists)

How gutting for the researcher. It's very admirable for him to be so open about it all

This is a little bit off. The only architecture supported by Java is the JVM. It is a fictional CPU architecture with predefined characteristics, such as a memory model. The implementation of a JVM is a mapping from a real CPU to the J VM's requirements. So no, JVM doesn't mean 'any architecture', it means 'JVM'. It only applies to OSes where a JVM is available.

Seconded, I tried to package up a publicly available header-only tar.gz into a debian package for our private repo and found it impossible to do. I gave up.
