Re: [go-nuts] Re: Recommended way to distribute pre-compiled C-dependencies for modules using CGO ?

Thanks for all the replies. Unfortunately, as I found out today, including the `.a` (static libraries) in the Github just got to its limit (100Mb), so I don't think this is an option anymore :( I'm going to investigate the Gihtub LFS (Large File Storage), not sure how well it will integrate wi

[go-nuts] recommended statistics package? Requirements: ANOVA, Brown-Forsythe

Hi follow Gophers I wonder is there a canonical, verifiably correct Go package for statistics? In particular, Go code that does the Brown-Forsythe test of equal variance. Ideally in pure Go, but linking with CGo is OK. A search on Google and pkg.go.dev does not return helpful results. I wonder is

Re: [go-nuts] Can we not invoke methods on types referring to generics?

FWIW I think what OP is ultimately asking about is some form of nominal subtyping. When they say "automatic upcasting", they refer (I believe) to what Go calls "assignability", which is in essence a subtype relationship. So they want to be able to define a new type, that is a subtype of an existing

[go-nuts] About allowing conversion from bool to int

Hello fellow gopherships... ¿How you doing? Hope just fine! A week ago I proposed to allow conversion from bool to int, assuming false to 0 and true to be 1. This was the proposal and I do appreciate a lot the polite responses from Ian. I pick my p

[go-nuts] Re: About allowing conversion from bool to int

I use 1 a lot and 4 (or the suggested bool<-->int conv) never. I have no idea what you want to express with 2 and 4 addresses a kind of problem that has no simple solution like a one-line function. V. On Friday, 20 October 2023 at 15:12:06 UTC+2 Victor Giordano wrote: > Hello fellow gopherships.

Volker. I don't know how to reply to what you state. I'm open to listen or read any thoughts you have about not using bool to int. El vie, 20 oct 2023 a las 12:20, Volker Dobler () escribió: > I use 1 a lot and 4 (or the suggested bool<-->int conv) never. > I have no idea what you want to expres

Re: [go-nuts] Re: About allowing conversion from bool to int

I have to admit I do not understand your intention. You made a proposal to change the language. A lot of people (me included) do not see this change as good (not needed, other solutions are available, lots of drawbacks, bad experience with such stuff in general, edge case, can be done in trivial co
