Hey Gophers, My very first post here. Today I faced an unexpected power outage and I wanted to tinker with Go a little bit. I wrote a simple hello world program and ran go run helloworld.go
Strangely the code didn't run. In fact, the terminal prompt never exited. I kept running the same command over and over again but no luck. I checked all my configurations, my env vars, etc. and everything was ok. After ruling out all the possibilities it suddenly hit me: what if Go actually requires an internet connection to run a program for no apparent reason? I waited for the electricity to come back and as soon as I was connected to the internet I ran `go run` command again and voilà! Is this behavior expected? If it is, why did the go authors make such a decision? I mean making the internet connectivity a dependency for the execution of a program sounds counter-productive to me, honestly. :( -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
