I quote from the stackless mailinglist: " Go is stackless where Stackless is not. Its goroutines use allocated stacks (starting at 4k in size) and can continue running on different threads where Stackless tasklets cannot. In fact, when a

This is silly, stacklets and goroutines are not comparable, stackless can't even read/write on multiple channels (ie., 'select' or in Limbo parlance 'alt'), nor can it do any blocking calls. In short, you are comparing apples with bazookas.

Lets hope this shuts up all the annoying people that got nothing better to do than to whine about a similar name having been used by another language, now it is clear who was first ;)

While Erlang is great, it is certainly not a systems programming language, it requires a really complex runtime/vm, and it is not related to C in any way (and many of us still love C, and are happy to see a language to fixes its shortcoming

That is not "capitalism at work", that is rent seeking and one of the many very common forms of government failure . Just because the motive of something is profit, it doesn't mean it is capitalism, the motive of taxes is also profit (fo
