Re: [go-nuts] Go language should become an ANSI and ISO standard.

2018-10-12 Thread Henry
In my opinion, currently there is no need for Go 'standardization'. There aren't multiple implementation of Go where each vendor is eager to add their own features and promote their own version of Go. In fact, by giving up control to a committee (especially during this early stage of the langu

Hi, Ah I see what you mean. The cross compiled windows file will rely on the efl library, but that can be packaged. This means that it would need to be a bigger distribution than just the exe if you want all deps shipped (I’m not too familiar with the windows terms yet). I’ll try and get a doc

I was wondering if there's a particular reason to enforce importing golint from a certain source (see: https://github.com/golang/lint/commit/9a272034dedb2a3ed05231d5604ce17fb40f0e58). There seems to be a lot of code in "the wild" importing this project from github.com as evinced by a number of

You may need to find a large organization with ISO-only policy to approach the Go team directly, and help staff a standardization effort. If there is already a member of the Go team doing outreach to government and enterprise IT managers, it would be interesting to hear from them re requirement

If I remember correctly, it would be something like this: fd = open("/tmp", O_TMPFILE | O_RDWR, 0600); linkat(fd, "", AT_FDCWD, "/tmp/test", AT_EMPTY_PATH); This is pretty specific to OS/kernel version and quite possibly the filesystem too. This could be entirely too much of an edge case to be

If Go is to be standardized, it needs to be as late as possible in the development of Go 1. My observations of being involved with some standards is that the participants view it as an opportunity to change or add to whatever is being standardized. Unless the standard was simply a true codific

I would not call it deceit, since the Ruby standard does accurately describes a subset of Ruby v1.8. It is more a workaround for institutional rigidity. I guess we would likely be better of without such bureaucracies, but it is utopic to think they will disappear any time soon. The best we can d

linkat() and openat() are posix 2008 standard functions so I wouldn't call this uncommon. As such they are useful to have in Go in one way or the other. The x/unix package is fine for that, though. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group
