yes, in this case i am language warring for no reason. i'm an unapologetic go devotee but i like rust just the same. i wish people would just get on with things and write software, rather than comment on minutiae on message boards.

Hyper may very well be much faster, but it isn't. Which is the whole issue with the Rust vs Go debates: one is possibly much better, but the other one gets all the code written for it in 1/6th of the time (Rust came out the same t

This is cool. I've written two or three implementations of 9p in the past, the more the merrier :) In the other direction, I ported Ocaml's interpreter to Plan 9. Wish there were more people using it back in the day, but that&#x27

the Clive[1] system uses a fork of the Go language which allows readers to close channels (I think it's the most significant difference between the languages, if not the only one): http://syssoftware.blogspot.com/2015&#

unless you're dealing with sufficiently large integers computing the intersect between a line and a plane with any robustness is impossible on modern computers with float or double. sometimes when you intersect meshes that have nearly

you need as many functional implementations of TLS as you can get. written by people with pedigree. you need them to cross-polinate and find bugs in each other. Go's TLS stack for example is used to test the TLS implementation is Bori

yes, it is clearer the Go way. things are up-front and obvious, easier to document, and less error-prone. although your contribution in snark is much appreciated, you're incorrect.

Lovely, I'm going to read. When I was doing my thesis I was adamant that I'd talk about Plan 9. The literature survey kept pointing at Sprite and Amoeba as the two systems that had the most similar goals at the time. Since then I
