And the very same place where you are working is investing in getting shared libraries working for Go. Single binaries may be popular for distributing end user applications, but definitely not for distributing a core OS or a SDK. Sorry, you didn't yet arrive in distro land ...
Of course it did. Like, Ubuntu 14.04LTS ships Go 1.2. No, it starts with the fact that when you don't have Go installed and type "go", it suggests to install gccgo, which just segfaults on running. Then you figure out that you need to install "golang", and that's 1.2, and a lot of things simply don't work with that version, like "go get" reports that a package not found, while it perfectly exists. So, let Go stay what it is - a corporate toy lingo for press-releases. That's until Google has thought that it generated enough buzz and it's time to shut it down like their numerous other projects. (Isn't Go old already and "everyone" uses Rust?) -- Best regards, Paul mailto:pmiscml@gmail.com
