The claims about it being automatically cross-platform because of Go were also pretty dubious. Most languages are cross-platform until you write code that isn't (or use a dependency that isn't).
- zak_mc_kracken 12y agoMore like "So far, it's cross platform on all the platforms I have compiled it on".
- CognitiveLens 12y agoGo compiles easily to platform-specific binaries, unlike some other languages which either require a lot of provisioning or middleware to run cross-platform. Saying that the project is "automatically cross-platform" is just shorthand for saying "no additional configuration is needed to run on platforms supported by the Go compiler"
