- ants_everywhere 1y agonot that I recall but I may not be recalling correctly. But certainly, anyone will bring their previous experience to the project, so there must be some Plan9 influence in there somewhere
- kragen 1y agoThey were literally using the Plan9 C compiler and linker.
- ants_everywhere 1y agoYes I'm aware
- kragen 1y agoLiterally building the project out of the Plan 9 source code is very far from "bring[ing] their previous experience to the project, (...) some Plan9 influence in there somewhere"
- ants_everywhere 1y agoIt's a C compiler. Is your point that Go is influenced by C? ...
- kragen 1y agoI think you should upgrade to a less badly quantized neural network model.
- ants_everywhere 1y agoI don't see why you've been continually replying so impolitely. I've tried to give you the benefit of the doubt, but I see I've just wasted my time.
- kragen 1y agoCertainly isn't what it looks like to me.
- ants_everywhere 1y agookay well. good luck getting angry at people on the internet or whatever else you do
- tom_m 1y agoThey started there, but it now is compiled by go itself.
- kragen 1y agoYes, Golang is superficially almost identical to Pike's Newsqueak.
- pjmlp 1y agoKind of, Limbo, written for Inferno, taking into consideration what made Alef's design for Plan 9 a failure, like not having garbage collection.
