Why go?

Mon, 20 Mar 2017 10:32:00 +0000

A few weeks ago I was asked by a friend, “why should I care about Go”? They knew that I was passionate about Go, but wanted to know why I thought other people should care. This article contains three salient reasons why I think Go is an important programming language. 18 points posted by gopher

Go's hidden pragmas

Mon, 08 Jan 2018 14:03:00 +0000

This is an article about compiler directives; or as they are commonly known, pragmas. It’s derived from a talk of a similar name that I gave last year at GopherChina in Shanghai.

Why do we need the sync atomic package?

Sat, 06 Jan 2018 11:12:00 +0000

If aligned memory writes are atomic, why do we need the sync/atomic package?

This is a post inspired by a question on the Go Forum. The question, paraphrased, was “If properly aligned writes are guaranteed to be atomic by the processor, why does the race detector complain?”
