The Go designers used CSP over the course of many decades via Newsqueak, Alef, Limbo and Plan 9 C's libthread.
- pjmlp 9y agoNewsqueak, Alef, Limbo and Plan 9 C's failed spectacularly in the market, nothing to brag about as proven technologies. In fact, as nice as Go might be, if it had the AT&T Research Labs stamp instead of Google's, it would been just as successful.
- kasey_junk 9y agoAs only a go user & not a contributer, that describes more the paradigm I’ve observed for how golang chooses the features to add. Did the principles enjoy a feature while using it on Plan 9? Likely to be included. A feature having broad industry or academic backing, or a long history? Immaterial.
