Looks more like Naitik Shah's open-source libraries.
- akavel 12y agoHe seems the main committer there, indeed... but "Naitik Shah's open-source libraries" seem to be present already at: https://github.com/daaku?tab=repositories https://github.com/daaku?tab=repositories ... so what is the "facebookgo" thing then? edit: the files have "Copyright Facebook, Inc." anyway
- Shish2k 12y agoI wonder why these aren't under the main facebook account ( https://github.com/facebook https://github.com/facebook ) o_O?
- couchand 12y agoBetter organization? Once you start to have more than a few pages of projects on a single group it starts to get very difficult to find them on GitHub unless you know exactly what you're looking for.
- twotwotwo 12y agoIt gives them more freedom in package names. It's nice when a package name is the same as the last element of the URL, and that URL's reasonably short. And you repeat the package name whenever you use an identifier from the package, so it's good if it's 1) short, and 2) if possible makes the full identifier read nicely à la counting.Reader. With their own GitHub username, they can just use whatever word they want for the package name (tool, counting, stack, subset, grace, inject) without risking a collision with other Facebook projects.
- csmajorfive 12y agoThese were all developed on the Parse team. Naitik is a huge contributor :) I believe we're the only ones doing using Go in production at Facebook. Join us! https://parse.com/about#jobs https://parse.com/about#jobs
- harisamin 12y agoNice. Thanks for open sourcing these libs :)
- jzelinskie 12y agoI've heard there are a few other little sprinkles of Go in other places, but no large codebases like this.
