I'm considering using Go for a small service that would live on my OpenWRT router.
What does this mean for me?
- codehusker 10y agoNothing. OpenWRT enables Linux's FPU emulation. Depending on your hardware, you may run into issues with the size of Go binaries. Off topic: If you use OpenWRT, check out the LEDE Project. It's a fork and development appears more active, but no stable releases yet.
- omginternets 10y agoGreat, thanks! Also, could you enlighten me as to the meaning behind the FPU acronym? Edit: found it -- disregard my last. Floating Point Unit.
