- Uhhrrr 11mo agoHey, they cut him off before he could tell what they did after calculating a Hamiltonian as a Go constant!
- NooneAtAll3 11mo agogo as in golang?
- kragen 11mo agoPresumably, since that's one of the main things he's been working on in recent decades. The third paragraph of the linked article mentions this.
- pjmlp 11mo agoYes, the language is called Go, not Golang. Originally designed by Robert Griesemer, Rob Pike and Ken Thompson.
- Uhhrrr 11mo agoYes, he was starting to talk about it at the end of the interview.
- GeekyBear 11mo agoThe long form interview series by the Computer History Museum are excellent resources.
- Aloha 11mo agoThat was just an incredible read.
