That is the same experience with Delphi. Is weird is not more popular (not just Delphi/pascal, but the idea of easy copy/paste deployment)...

- mbell 12y agoIt's quite common in the Java world to build a 'fat jar' which is the same idea, all dependencies other than the JVM itself in a single file.
- girvo 12y agoOne could make an argument that with PHP, copy-paste deployment is popular. Of course, it's not quite the same thing, as you'll need Apache/etc. setup, however that is one of PHP's strengths. It's good to see another language doing something similar, but in a nicer, far more performant way: specifically for web development, the way Go does stuff is brilliant in my opinion.
- pjmlp 12y agoIt is pretty common on Windows and Mac OS X worlds, but it seems not so in GNU/Linux.
- bkeroack 12y agoIn theory it's also true of ASP.NET. You have a magic folder of CLR-compiled binaries you drop into the IIS site root folder and it "just works" (or doesn't, as the case may be).
- mamcx 12y agoAh, I was not clear. I mean copy/paste without the need of a runtime. With Delphi (go?) you just ship the exe (and can even put inside it the resources). Having a kind of packaging for shipping is more or less popular now...
