I love this idea of making executables contain assets, and it fits well with the Go ethos of a single (statically built) executable. This makes distribution simpler for applications that do need to deal with assets of different kinds.
A tangential comment: is anyone else concerned a bit that discussions and debates happen on platforms like GitHub and reddit? These two platforms are large enough to be around for quite sometime, but are we making it easier to lose historical context because platform creators/designers are choosing third party platforms that they don’t host or control (or in some instances don’t or can’t pay for)?
- aspenmayer 6y agoIt’s concerning that the debate that formed and forms open source is not itself available on open source platforms and/or archived and licensed and available for access in the same manner and license as the code itself. Good spot, quite apropos!
- Cthulhu_ 6y agoYes, but at the same time, it'll reach a much bigger audience than mailing lists (which IIRC is still the official communications platform for Go), which are still painful to work with, even with using Google's own tooling. That said, mailing lists are much more open and easily archived for posterity, moreso than Reddit.
