What Hacker News says?
Sorry, I completely disagree. I don't consider mere M:N thread work distribution as anywhere close to what the go scheduler offers. This article mentions some of the fundamental problems with core.async: http://danboykis.com/posts/things-i-wish-i-knew-about-core-a... Having to pay ridiculously careful attention to what code blocks across libraries and function boundaries is something that golang completely takes awa…

HN discussionMy guess is you are incorrect and this has more to do with the Ardan Labs partnership[1][2]. This release also came shortly after Bill (founder of Ardan Labs) went to visit Matt and discuss Caddy[3], which helps support that claim. Prior to the partnership I believe the real issue was that Matt & co didn't have a sustainable way to maintain the project and they were trying to figure that out. I don't know the detail…

HN discussion> So if you learn Go, you'll never be able to use it to interoperate with e.g. your Python program to speed it up. Never done it myself, but: https://www.ardanlabs.com/blog/2020/07/extending-python-with... https://github.com/go-python/gopy

HN discussionI worked (a long time ago) on Burroughs mainframes which did bounds checking of arrays (and in fact even type checking), because the whole machine was build around ALGOL. I am not sure whether the experience from these machines was negative. It may be that when you move beyond one-dimensional arrays, bounds checking becomes more complicated. Perhaps performance suffers too. Languages which do bounds checking often h…
