Was this an actual code problem, or did the compiler issue some bad comparisons or jumps?

Go channels block, and you can pass them around in the first class, so they have a lazy, infinite-array feel to them like Haskell thunks.

With explicit handling, you can't pass an error up to a place that could better handle it?

Looks typical of C to me, just handled where they occur. Maybe you're used to ignoring error handling? Better you do it.

Go interfaces are like Haskell typeclasses in that each tell the compiler whether a polymorphic operation is usable by a type.

Consider updating CS Lewis' university speech, The Inner Ring, on being a sound craftsman, and refusing to yearn for status.

Play now, just working through tutorial. Might try it at work instead of C for small tasks. Needs PPC support for telecoms.

A Go language "interface" makes a new type, of a common subset of methods of other types, to minimize and show just what a function needs.

Can anyone else imagine using non-alphabetic, non-digit characters in Go identifier names?

Discovered go language's neat %p completely by accident: 'fmt.Printf("*p=%s %p\n", *p, *p);' produces '*p=good bye %p(string=good bye)'

Studied and annotated echo example in the Go language tutorial. Fun with UTF-8 chars in identifiers. Wrote mkfile for progs. Types next.

We saw NIC but not GE. Morimoto and Hattori seemed pretty clear on whether or not they tasted umami. What did Alton say?

Access has tradeoffs. Physical paper needs no solvent company, file formats, computers or electric grid; has better resolution.

Ironic that by taking a picture, and sharing it with all of us, you made it far less transitory, almost permanent.
