00:00 < kmc> chrome, i have an opinion about structural subtyping /
duck-interfaces.  that's why i'd like to discuss it
00:01 < kmc> we've been talking for a few minutes and already you throw up
your hands and declare that i'm not interested in hearing your points

00:01 < kmc> i don't really see what would give you that impression
00:01 < kmc> sladegen, what do you mean?

00:02 < sladegen> kmc: the class hierarchy.
00:02 < kmc> i'm not saying there should be a hierarchy
00:02 < kmc> that's a very different idea
00:02 < jessta> kmc: in reality you wouldn't have an interface with one
method
00:02 < sladegen> kmc: right, so go is as type unsafe as C++ but without the
straight jacket.
00:03 < kmc> the idea of a class hierarchy is very different from the
question of whether interfaces are declared for types, or are merely discovered
automatically as in Go
00:03 < Amaranth> all type systems have tradeoffs
00:03 < Gracenotes> unsafe?  :|
00:03 < Amaranth> I don't understand the argument here
00:03 < kmc> sladegen, no, in C++ i'd have to declare that my bit register
is an engine in order to make this mistake
00:03 -!- RayNbow [i=kirika@scientia.demon.nl] has quit ["When science finally
locates the center of the universe, some people will be surprised to learn they're
not it"]
00:03 < kmc> in Go it's declared for me, by mere virtue that the method
signatures match
00:03 < Gracenotes> especially in the standard library, though, you see
interfaces used where union types would have been more appropriate
00:03 <+iant> that is an intentional feature in Go
00:04 < Gracenotes> except..  it doesn't have union types
00:04 < kmc> yes i know it's intentional ;P
00:04 < jessta> kmc: the likelihood of having two unrelated interfaces with
the same set of methods used in the same context is slim
00:04 <+iant> we understand that it can cause problems in some cases
00:04 < Gracenotes> that it my major gripe with the language, as it stands
00:04 < Amaranth> kmc: How would you suggest making your case not be a
problem without completely breaking the entire point of that feature?
00:04 -!- decriptor [n=decripto@137.65.132.26] has joined #go-nuts
00:04 < Amaranth> all type systems have tradeoffs
00:04 < kmc> Amaranth, no kidding
00:04 < kmc> what's your point
00:04 < kmc> because there are tradeoffs we shouldn't discuss what they are?
00:05 -!- tetha [n=hk@pD9EE6663.dip.t-dialin.net] has quit [Read error: 60
(Operation timed out)]
00:05 < Amaranth> kmc: My point is you're just making noise
00:05 <+iant> however, the argument is that in some languages you spend more
time fiddling with the type heirarchy than you do actually programming
00:05 < sladegen> kmc: but i'm sure one would find a way to shoot himself in
a foot with some virtuals and operator overlading.
00:05 <+iant> Go is intended to be explicitly lightweight on types, with the
recognition that this can cause problems in some situations
00:05 < kmc> sladegen, what??
00:05 < Gracenotes> in go/ast, you see hidden interface methods used for
type assertions.  in other parts of the library, you see interfaces that are
basically tagged union, with { String() string; Int() int; } that sort of thing
00:05 < Amaranth> kmc: The tradeoffs are known and intentional
00:05 < kmc> those are unrelated features
00:05 < kmc> jessta, i'm worried not so much about unrelated interfaces, but
rather very similar ones that are nonetheless not interchangeable
00:05 < Gracenotes> sane union types would alleviate that, if you see it as
a problem
00:05 <+iant> Gracenotes: sum types are being seriously considered
00:05 -!- brrant [n=John@65-102-193-77.hlrn.qwest.net] has joined #go-nuts
00:06 < kmc> like, i make a type B that's much like type A, but whenever you
call f() (present in A) you should also call g() (absent in A) or bad things will
happen
00:06 < kmc> now just because A and B both have f(), they could both be
passed to a function expecting an object with that interface
00:06 < Gracenotes> iant: okay, that is great to know :) with pattern
matching, to an extent (like you can currently do with type switches)?
00:06 <+iant> Gracenotes: I don't know, I haven't seen the proposal
00:06 < kmc> the function knows nothing abotu the fact that B doesn't really
implement the same *contract* for f() that A does
00:06 < kmc> Amaranth, my fix would be quite simply to declare interface
membership
00:06 < kmc> that's one line of code per type
00:06 < kmc> not a big deal
00:07 <+iant> kmc: but that is explicitly what we decided not to do, because
it requires a type heirarchy
00:07 < kmc> doesn't lock you into inheritance, virtual methosd, operator
overloading, or any of that nonsense people are throwing out
00:07 < kmc> iant, it's not a hierarchy.  there's only one level!
00:07 < directrixx> iant: You have my vote for sum types!
00:07 <+iant> but it does mean that if you refactor an interface, you have
to change everything which uses that interface
00:07 < Amaranth> kmc: Now everything I use has to know about the interface
I made even if I didn't make the things I'm using
00:07 <+iant> we understand the argument and made an explicit choice in the
language
00:07 < kmc> i'd also say you should be able to declare membership for a
type and/or interface you didn't write
00:08 < Amaranth> Now the first 50 lines of my program are fiddling with the
type system
00:08 < kmc> the point is, there's some specific place in the code where you
say "yes, this type A really satisfies the *contract* for interface B, rather than
just being superficially similar"
00:08 < nacmartin> how to have a blocking socket?  (*TCPConn) Read() doesn't
block
00:08 -!- decriptor [n=decripto@137.65.132.26] has quit [Client Quit]
00:08 < kmc> Amaranth, where i'm from that's considered a good thing
00:09 <+iant> kmc: In Go it is considered a bad thing
00:09 <+iant> it is not the language you want
00:09 < Amaranth> In Go it is considered such a bad thing they explicitly
designed the type system to avoid it
00:09 < sladegen> nacmartin: try ret, err = foo.Read() perhaps...
00:10 -!- keeto [n=keeto@121.54.92.149] has quit ["http://keetology.com/"]
00:10 * Amaranth wonders why he is using the http module if he is hijacking all
the connections anyway
00:10 < sladegen> nacmartin: oh, sorry, misread.
00:10 < kmc> iant, why was this a design goal of Go?
00:11 <+iant> kmc: one of the design goals was a lightweight type system
00:11 < uriel> kmc: because one language can't make everyone happy, and it
is foolish to try
00:11 < kmc> uriel, that doesn't answer my question at all
00:11 -!- purefusion_ [n=purefusi@cblmdm24-53-171-140.buckeyecom.net] has joined
#go-nuts
00:11 < SRabbelier> iant: I'm curious, what are the plans of the go time
after the release rush has settled down (aside from a better GC)?
00:11 < kmc> uriel, i am asking why they chose to make this particular set
of people happy versus this other set
00:12 <+iant> in other words, let the programmer think as little about types
as possible while retaining type safety
00:12 < uriel> kmc: because it is *simpler* (I'm guessing, but I think on
this it is quite easy to guess)
00:12 <+iant> SRabbelier: we don't have a good set of plans yet, probably
soon
00:12 < sladegen> kmc: i'm suspect you cound write your version of object
system on top of what Go provides.
00:12 < uriel> it is simpler for the implemetnation, and it is simpler for
the user as iant noted
00:12 -!- tcpip4000 [n=fulano@dsl-emcali-190.99.193.179.emcali.net.co] has joined
#go-nuts
00:12 < kmc> iant, what does "type safety" mean then?  the amount of static
guarantees you get from your type system depends on how much effort the programmer
puts into thinking about types
00:13 < kmc> you can't draw a single line and declare that all effort above
that line is wasted
00:13 < SRabbelier> iant: sensible, the input that arrives during that
release rush might be useful when deciding what to do next
00:13 -!- eno [n=eno@nslu2-linux/eno] has quit [Success]
00:13 < dho> cgo works on freebsd now

00:13 < XniX23> dho: well done
00:13 < kfx> dho: awesome

[Read error: 60 (Operation timed out)]
00:14 <+iant> kmc: type safety means that you can not access a value in the
wrong type (without using the unsafe package) and the compiler can prevent you
from accidentally using one type as a different type--except for interfaces, which
are checked at runtime
00:14 <+iant> kmc: you are talking about a higher order of type safety
00:14 < chrome> dho: great job
00:14 <+iant> kmc: which Go does not provide
00:15 < reppie> dho for president
00:15 < kmc> yes
00:15 < dho> heh
00:15 <+iant> because Go is not a language for reasoning about types
00:15 <+iant> there are other languages which do that really well
00:16 -!- _Yelena_ [n=jelenalo@nat194011.telenor.rs] has joined #go-nuts
00:17 < kmc> so there was a design decision that any static checking above
the level you describe is not worth it?
00:17 <+iant> every language decision has a cost and a benefit
00:18 <+iant> For the language Go is intended to be, the cost is too high
for the benefit
00:18 <+iant> in our opinioin
00:18 <+iant> opinion
00:18 < chrome> If Go tried to implement every single last feature from
every language that everyone thought was really useful or even somewhat
beneficial, it wouldn't be go.  It'd be java, or C# or whatever, not go.
00:18 < kmc> chrome, wow, strawman much?
00:19 < JBeshir> It'd be Perl.

00:19 < uriel> JBeshir: or C++
00:19 < chrome> How is that a strawman?
00:19 < kmc> chrome, you're saying we shouldn't discuss any missing feature,
because once we talk about one missing feature this is the same as asking for
every feature ever?
00:19 < jabb> you can always find elegance in simplicity
00:19 < uriel> kmc: you are just repeating the same question over and over
and over again
00:19 -!- _Yelena_ [n=jelenalo@nat194011.telenor.rs] has left #go-nuts []
00:19 < kfx> kmc: he's justing java and c# as stand-ins to mean 'a crappy
overbuilt garbage language'
00:20 < kmc> iant, for example: "type" in Go introduces a new, convertible
but non-identical type, correct?
00:20 < kmc> (this is my understanding from reading the spec)
00:20 -!- paulca [n=paul@dsl081-056-242.sfo1.dsl.speakeasy.net] has joined
#go-nuts
00:20 -!- crashR [n=crasher@codextreme.pck.nerim.net] has quit ["Leaving."]
00:20 <+iant> kmc: correct
00:20 < JBeshir> I do find this decision kinda interesting.
00:20 -!- crashR [n=crasher@codextreme.pck.nerim.net] has joined #go-nuts
00:20 < JBeshir> I suppose you'd accomplish it by documentation?
00:20 < chrome> I've been in here since release, and a recurring theme is
that Go doesn't do X or Y feature that language Z has, therefore it's a bad
language.  Or something.  I'm not sure what your point is.
00:20 < uriel> JBeshir: I do find the decision extremely refreshing and
liberating
00:20 < kmc> it seems that you'd still have "type safety" if you made it,
instead, a mere synonym, like C's typedef
00:20 < kmc> and you would have less static checking, and less work for the
programmer
00:21 < JBeshir> kmc: Makes it harder to embed semantic information in type
definitions, though.
00:21 < kmc> so there's one decision that went the other way
00:21 -!- trvbldn [n=trvbldn@c-98-218-95-154.hsd1.dc.comcast.net] has joined
#go-nuts
00:21 < kmc> and i think the lack of explicit interface-membership makes it
harder to embed semantic information in types as well
00:22 < JBeshir> i.e.  if you're given a string under type of an error, you
can assume it's an error message.
00:22 -!- gpurrenhage [n=gpurrenh@141.209.59.130] has joined #go-nuts
00:22 < kmc> right.  and if you had an object implementing an "Error"
interface, you'd know that its "getMessage() string" function gives you an error
message.  as opposed to, say, an IRC message which happens to have the same
method.
00:23 <+iant> kmc: we want back and forth on whether type should be an alias
or a distinct type; the question is which methods are attached to the new type
00:23 <+iant> it is still possible that we will introduce a different syntax
to get a type alias
00:23 < exch> kmc, if it has a GetString() method it shouldn't matyter what
kind of string is returned or for what purpose
00:23 < uriel> iant: I think the current approach is quite good
00:24 < kmc> iant, i think both aliases and newtypes should be supported
00:24 <+iant> noted
00:24 <+iant> biab
00:24 < kmc> in Haskell we have both, and use both, quite frequently

02:48 < chucknelson> hey all
02:49 < jessta> hello
02:49 < chucknelson> can anyone help me w/ what seems like a super basic
failure of the shell script tests when installing go on snow leopard?
02:50 < wollw> just ask
02:50 < chucknelson> The ./all.bash is failing at the first test, saying
that $GOROOT isn't exported
02:51 < chucknelson> but when I do the test in terminal by itself, it works
fine
02:51 < chucknelson> it's just the test -> if ! test -f
$GOROOT/include/u.h
02:51 < chucknelson> I don't understand why it works when I do the test
manually...but never in this script they have...
02:52 < wollw> echo $SHELL
02:52 < chucknelson> "/bin/bash"
02:53 < wollw> other tests work in the script?
02:53 < chucknelson> never gets that far, but I got rid of the $GOROOT test
just to see, and the following $GOBIN test fails too, even though it also passes
when I run it in terminal
02:54 < wollw> ah
02:54 < jessta> chucknelson: you havent exported $GOROOT
02:54 < wollw> are they in your bashrc file?
02:54 < chucknelson> yep
02:54 < chucknelson> did "env" to check
02:54 < chucknelson> everything is there
02:54 < chucknelson> cd $GOROOT, etc.  works fine
02:54 < chucknelson> and the tests work fine when I type them out in
terminal
02:55 < chucknelson> for example
02:55 < chucknelson> test -f $GOROOT/include/u.h && echo 'it exists'
02:55 < chucknelson> and it echos 'it exists" just fine...
02:55 < chucknelson> ! test -f $GOROOT/include/blahblah.h && echo 'it
doesn't exist'
02:55 < chucknelson> and I get 'it doesn't exist" as expected...
02:56 < chucknelson> not using .bashrc
02:56 < chucknelson> defined in .bash_profile
02:56 < chucknelson> but my env has them set fine, so I dont think that's an
issue...right?
02:56 < jessta> chucknelson: type: export GOROOT
02:57 < chucknelson> ok
02:57 < chucknelson> done...
02:58 < wollw> chucknelson: try putting it in .bashrc
02:58 < wollw> .bash_profile is for login shells
02:58 < jessta> chucknelson: same thing with GOBIN and GOARCH
02:58 < jessta> infact what did you put in .bashrc?
02:58 < chucknelson> jessta: I did it for GOROOT just now, but the test
still fails
02:58 < chucknelson> .bashrc doesn't exist
02:58 < chucknelson> I just have .bash_profile
02:58 < wollw> so create a bashrc
02:59 < wollw> or just link to the bash_profile
02:59 < chucknelson> link?
03:00 < uriel> ln
03:00 < wollw> ln ~/.bash_profile ~/.bashrc
03:00 < chucknelson> when I type "env", all my variables are good...GOROOT,
GOBIN, etc.
03:00 < wollw> it's much like an alias
03:00 < wollw> in function
03:00 < uriel> chucknelson: you need to *export* them
03:00 < wollw> (a mac os alias, not a shell alias)

03:03 < Gracenotes> you can pipe it into grep GO, if you have that
03:04 < Gracenotes> oh, lol, you know that
03:04 < Gracenotes> sorry -_- please continue.  *self-flagellates*
03:04 < chucknelson> haha
03:05 < wollw> chucknelson: tried making a link and then opening a new

04:44 < uriel> good morning iant
04:44 <+iant> evening for me
04:44 < uriel> hehe, 6am here :)
04:45 < alexsuraci> uriel: yep; http://github.com/vito/go-play
04:45 < alexsuraci> paste.go
04:45 < alexsuraci> not exactly a looker at the moment ;)
04:45 < uriel> iant: you guys have been doing a really awesome job, commits
to the repo seem to be fast and furious
04:45 < alexsuraci> due for renovation but I haven't had the time
04:45 <+iant> thanks
04:45 < uriel> iant: btw, is there some place to monitor the development of
gccgo?
04:45 <+iant> I send patches to gcc-patches@gcc.gnu.org
04:46 <+iant> There is still some question about the licensing; when that is
resolved I will create a new mailing list somewhere as well
04:46 <+iant> You don't want to read gcc-patches, it is pretty high volume
04:46 < uriel> alexsuraci: ok, should I link to it from
http://go-lang.cat-v.org/go-code ok?
04:46 < uriel> iant: heh, I'm just interested in the gccgo patches :)
04:47 < uriel> iant: btw, any chance gccgo will be part of the next major
gcc release?
04:47 < alexsuraci> uriel: Sure, I'd file it under
04:47 < alexsuraci> "toys and experiments" at the moment
04:47 <+iant> uriel: hard to say at this point; I would like it to be, but
we have to square away the licensing first
04:47 < uriel> alexsuraci: hehehe..  hey, gopaste is one of the most
advanced apps so far!  ;)
04:47 < uriel> (and most useful)
04:47 * alexsuraci needs to practice his ' and enter key targeting
04:47 < uriel> iant: what is the licensing issue?  if I may ask..
04:48 < alexsuraci> uriel: up to you, I don't mind either way :P
04:48 < uriel> (I thought google folks contributed to gcc regularly)
04:48 < sladegen> prolly GPL vs.  BSD schism.
04:48 <+iant> I want to keep the gccgo frontend under a BSD-style license so
that it can be used with other programs; the gcc steering committee would prefer
to see GPL
04:48 <+iant> yes, contributing to gcc is not an issue
04:49 < uriel> iant: ah, they don't require all copyright to be assigned to
the fsf?
04:49 <+iant> right, that is another aspect of the discussion
04:49 <+iant> they require a copyright disclaimer
04:49 < uriel> ah...  I see..  does gcc include any other bsd bits?
04:49 <+iant> which is fine
04:49 <+iant> nothing significant, just a few library functions

part "main" part as GPL.
04:52 <+iant> my concern is about people other than gcc being able to use
the frontend
04:52 < MugginsM> lgpl might still make it awkward if it's hard to keep the

05:56 < dho> dga: i have no idea what's opening /dev/urandom
05:56 < dho> this is arrayindex1.go?

05:57 < Odemia> is there a way to call the rest of tests.  all.bash is bails
as soon as the test fails
05:57 <+iant> Odemia: move net into NOTESTS in pkg/Makefile
05:57 < dga> I'm speculating that the fact that the kernel is *also*
spinning is because the program, while spinning, is accessing a mapped urandom
page.  But that's vaguely immaterial to the bug at hand if that's why - it just
says the faiure mode happened to kick something interesting.
05:57 < dho> dga: any way to see what the hell is opening that?
05:57 < Odemia> thanks iant
05:58 < dho> dga: nothing in that test should open urandom
05:58 < dho> dga: the only stuff in go that opens urandom are crypto tests
05:58 < dga> It could be a consequence of calling, e.g., srandomdev
05:59 < dga> (hm, which nothing does)
05:59 < dho> there are no libc calls in go

07:10 < jabb> yuanxin: yeah, you have to impose a limit to the number of
parameters passed to a function with vargs
07:10 < jabb> at least for now
07:11 < sladegen> from implementation point of view utf-8 is simpler and
easier considering one Rob Pike is inventor of utf-8

use its host Regexp struct

look like C
07:22 < timmcd> Timmcd: I usually stick to scripting languages, which most

07:24 < timmcd> Anyone up for working on a roguelike?
07:25 < sladegen> timmcd: how about implementing scheme interpreter in go
first...  probably way out of my league.
07:25 < timmcd> hmm scheme interpreter in Go…
07:25 < timmcd> hmm
07:25 < yuanxin> is there an off-topic channel for Go? something like
#not-math for #math
07:25 < bthomson> try #go-fish
07:26 < yuanxin> bthomson: good idea
07:26 < timmcd> I'm in #not-GOing-nuts =D
07:26 < timmcd> but that sounds like I don't like Go.
07:26 < timmcd> go-fish it is!
07:26 < yuanxin> yeah #go-fish is better
07:27 < timmcd> anyway, a scheme interpreter in Go.
07:27 < timmcd> Interesting, but I don't have much experience with that sort
of thing.
07:27 < timmcd> My one attempt horridly failed
07:29 < timmcd> 'course, it was written in Ruby ;)
07:29 < timmcd> I think I'd have to make a wrapper for bison of Limon or w/e
first, instead of doing it all from scratch >_>
07:29 < sladegen> doing mud server would be interesting, too, though i have
weird ideas about it...  like making it a storage for meta information of
different login shells, kinda like running one emacs server.
07:30 < timmcd> lol
07:30 < sladegen> timmcd: go has some lexoyacobnf utils already.
07:30 < timmcd> I have more… game-oriented ideas ;)
07:31 < sladegen> well, it could be used for gaming, too, only recently i

out1 is os.Stdout, otherwise it's nil
08:47 < jdp> so then i needed to use an if statement, but assignments inside
if's only get that scope
08:47 < jdp> so i brought the assignment outside of the if, but now it won't
let me use untyped nil

ken-style compiler to ppc
09:30 -!- Cyprien [n=Cyprien@pub1.heig-vd.ch] has joined #go-nuts
09:30 < vegai> and would it be worth the work...
09:31 < KragenSitaker> take a look at the compiler
09:31 < KragenSitaker> the code is pretty straightforward
09:32 < KragenSitaker> it's probably some of the nicest C you'll ever see
09:33 < KragenSitaker> there's about 18000 lines of code in the gc/
directory and about 6000 lines of code in the 8g directory
09:34 < KragenSitaker> another 6000 in 8l, 2000 in 8a
09:34 < vegai> then again, isn't ppc pretty much a dead architecture
09:35 < KragenSitaker> so it would be on the order of a three-person-year
project according to basic COCOMO?
09:35 < vegai> :)
09:35 < sladegen> gl
09:35 < vegai> I'll hand it over to a thousand people, we'll do it in a day
09:36 < gl> mh?
09:36 < me__> there already exist q{acl}...
09:36 < sladegen> gl nothing...  meant to say good luck to vegai
09:36 < me__> not in go, but in Inferno.  you would have to adapt them to
produce ELFs.
09:36 < KragenSitaker> you'd have to write another 6000 lines of code for
7g, 6000 for 7l, and 2000 for 7a, or so
09:37 < KragenSitaker> oh, q?
09:37 < KragenSitaker> q is powerpc?
09:37 < me__> q == ppc.  9 iirc is ppc64
09:37 < vegai> arm port would make more sense
09:37 < KragenSitaker> thanks!  I didn't realize
09:37 < KragenSitaker> yes, and there already is an arm port
09:37 < vegai> oh, of course
09:38 < KragenSitaker> COCOMO suggests 4 people for 10 months
09:38 < me__> the set of plan 9 compilers that can be scavenged: { 68k, amd
29k, mips, arm, i386, amd64, ppc, ppc64, sparc, sparc64 }...
09:38 < KragenSitaker> I think the COCOMO estimates are really high
09:38 < me__> mips and arm have both endianness, arm has thumb support as
well.
09:39 < me__> there's a lot of duplicated code in Ng and Nc, so yea...
09:39 < KragenSitaker> I know!  I was disappointed when I saw that
09:39 < KragenSitaker> wow, amd 29k?  I didn't know that was in use recently
enough to have a plan 9 compiler
09:39 < me__> kencc dates back from 1991.
09:39 < me__> 68k was the first version, iirc.

10:49 < simonz05> Go have something to convert string to int?  i = atoi(s);
10:49 < sladegen> nikki93: try puting some sleep in main or make goroutines
return something some output to main when they finish.
10:50 < nikki93> What's the sleep function?
10:50 < sladegen> for example on a channel you pass to them on the go.
10:50 < madmoose> nikki93: That's how threads work, I'd guess goroutines act

11:21 < frimend> I assume that since google develops it, it has to have some

demanded even when he wasn't on the machine.  Some programmers are like this.
11:21 < frimend> Trying to figure out a good project to start trying it out
with, but stuck at pen/paper stage at the moment.
11:21 <+danderson> look at the language for what it is, experiment with it,

11:22 -!- bquinn [n=bquinn@nat/yahoo/x-xcrvqvknnzbztgla] has joined #go-nuts
11:23 < Innominate> danderson: one fairly major question, A lot of the
publicity surrounding go has been "Google creates new programming language.", but
when looking at go, it looks more like it's a few rockstars hired by google
working on their own.  Is one more true than the other or is it some mix of both?
11:25 < kve> Innominate: media likes to use the label "Google" when they can
(well known brand compared to our rockstars ;)
11:25 < alus> danderson: yes, a large number of programmers have no idea
what they're talking about.  many languages and frameworks are born from this
weeping and gnashing of teeth
11:26 < Innominate> yea im just wondering how much it's a google project vs
how much it's a personal one
11:26 < Innominate> ooo ooo i'm one of the ones who has no idea what hes
talking about
11:26 < alus> also many broken technologies and bandaids
11:26 < alus> like the web :)
11:26 < Innominate> php.
11:26 < JBeshir> That's actually kinda an interesting question; how much
Google considers their "their thing" as opposed to a 20% project turned into an
experiment.
11:26 < huf> 'nuff said.
11:27 < JBeshir> s/their "/this "/
11:27 < huf> is it free software?  yes.  so it's not theirs.  it's ours ;)
11:27 < kve> yeah, as far as I've read it seems to have Googles "thumbs up"
but it's not like they can change to new language while it's still incomplete.
They have high expectations of it as do many programmers :)

11:29 < Innominate> nikki: I'm not sure what you mean by stringable, but

11:29 <+danderson> Innominate: the internet has branded it as "omg google's
new language", but the fact is that three people got together and started
tinkering.  Then a few more joined up, and the language developed from there.
11:29 < Innominate> strconv
11:29 < JBeshir> Ah.
11:30 < JBeshir> On the bright side, "Google's new language" might mean it
gets more attention than most new languages with genuinely interesting ideas.
11:30 <+danderson> Google let them work on it, so in a sense it's google's,
but the language, and the accomplishment of releasing it, really is the work of
the go team, not a gigantic effort by google as a whole.
11:30 < Innominate> danderson: ty
11:30 < frimend> JBeshir: yes, that is what I find interesting.
11:30 < JBeshir> Er, most other new languages

11:31 <+danderson> alus: my statement was a little unclear.  But basically,
it's clear that not all the people on the list should be allowed to have an
opinion on language design
11:31 < yiyus> me__: indeed
11:31 < Innominate> kve: didn't you hear Go! is it's own language!  never
mind that it's only ever been described in a self-published book and some
unavailable academic papers.
11:31 <+danderson> since they've clearly never tried and witnessed how
features interact with each other when you actually try to do it.
11:32 < JBeshir> Go actually deserves the attention, in my view, because
unlike most other new languages, it's designed with practical considerations
instead of cool concept in mind.
11:32 * alus coughs "HTML+CSS+JS"
11:32 < me__> yiyus: i like limbo a lot, even, actually more than go so far.
but i know it better, so...
11:32 < JBeshir> :P
11:32 <+danderson> it's fine to say "I like this" or "maybe we could try
something like that"
11:32 < kve> Innominate: yeah I'm aware of it, as the fact that it's a well
known boardgame and a pretty damn used word in english language ^^
11:32 < Innominate> Virtually everyone professing to have an opinion about
language design is simply stealing something form the language they know
11:32 <+danderson> but going "You're all idiots unless you implement
non-nullable pointers now, because it's completely trivial" without grasping the
implications for the rest of the language
11:32 <+danderson> it causes bozo bits to get flipped.
11:32 < nbaum> danderson: Hang on, you're being serious?
11:32 < Innominate> Actual language design is one of the hardest problems in
computing
11:33 <+danderson> nbaum: about what?
11:33 < JBeshir> I need to subscribe to that list; firstly, it's
interesting, and secondly, I've been invited to toss the x86_64 memory
(accounting?) bug discussion there, and it seems the best bet for fixing it,
whether it's a Linux bug or a Go one.
11:33 <+danderson> I should maybe point out at this stage that the opinions
I express here are my own
11:33 <+danderson> I don't speak for the folks on the go team actually doing
the work, or for google
11:34 <+danderson> just myself.
11:34 < nbaum> danderson: The bit about certain people not being "allowed to
have an opinion on language design".
11:34 < alus> danderson: we had the same problem with BitTorrent.  the
answer that worked well for us was to shut off the public developer list
11:34 < kve> danderson: bear with it and just remember that there are lots
of people who have high expectations from the language :) Just hoping that
everyone who can help with the language will do so instead of lurking around in
silence
11:34 < Innominate> nbaum: Thats definitely true.
11:34 <+danderson> nbaum: I guess I'm not phrasing things right.  Of course,
everyone is entitled to an opinion.  But not everyone should expect their opinion
to be taken seriously.
11:35 < nbaum> danderson: That's exactly fine.
11:35 < Innominate> nbaum: I can write decent code in several languages, i
like to think im a semi-competent programmer.  I don't know enough about language
design to have any opinion.
11:35 <+danderson> in programming language design especially, because it's a
hard problem where everything interacts with everything else
11:35 < JBeshir> Hmm.
11:35 < JBeshir> 339 emails a day.  Ow.
11:36 < Innominate> There's an awful lot of people who think that because
they took java classes in high school that they have a good opinion
11:36 < nbaum> Many of the responses to "why doesn't Go have nullable types"
I see on the mailing list are of the form "you are not allowed to express your
opinion until you've used Go for several years".
11:36 <+danderson> so just because you really like generics in, say, java,
doesn't mean your opinion that "It's really easy to implement generics in Go, just
do what Java does" is actually sane.
11:36 < nbaum> Often from people who haven't done that themselves.
11:36 < me__> did comp.lang.limbo ever get 339 emails in a whole month?
11:36 < JBeshir> me__: I don't even know what Limbo is.  :P
11:36 < JBeshir> Well, aside from in here.
11:37 <+danderson> nbaum: I think that's an exageration.  But I agree with
the general gist of the message: don't judge/try to change the language purely
after reading the specs.  You need to use it a bit to see how the features
interact in actual programs.
11:37 < JBeshir> Grah.
11:37 <+danderson> Unless you happen to be a brilliant programming language
designer, with a lot of experience with language design, and can immediately fully
understand a language just by staring at the spec.
11:38 < me__> JBeshir: limbo was/is the systems programming language for
Inferno, a successor of sorts to Plan 9.  the language runs in a VM (dis), but has
a lot of similarities with Go.
11:38 <+danderson> which, frankly, I don't think is a lot of the people
posting right now :(
11:38 < me__> same channel primitives, very similar syntax even.
11:38 <+danderson> on the good side, there has been some healthy debate, and
some very interesting proposals.
11:38 < nbaum> danderson: It's not, sadly.  Many of the people suggesting
changes have clearly used the language.  Some of the people responding are
essentially saying "but you haven't used it _enough_ or else you wouldn't be
suggesting this change".
11:38 < Innominate> So what you're saying is that go is years of work built
upon many more years of work?
11:39 < nbaum> danderson: The people who don't think like that are probably
not responding to people making reasoned arguments, since they don't feel the need
to shoot down anybody expressing a different opinion.
11:39 <+danderson> nbaum: which may or may not be true.  I'm currently
learning Haskell, and for a long time things didn't make sense, because I was
trying to write Python code in haskell
11:39 < Innominate> Go needs pointers like C, the lack of pointers like
java, and ponies.
11:39 <+danderson> it took time before I started writing idiomatic haskell,
and understanding why things are the way they are
11:40 <+danderson> some complaints about go may be rooted in the same
problem.  If you write C in Go, you're probably missing out on Go, and will find
it strange.
11:40 < nbaum> They _may_ be.
11:40 < Innominate> You can find that problem in any situation of someone
learning a new language
11:41 <+danderson> sure.  I'm saying that it's not black and white, in
either direction.
11:41 < JBeshir> I'm trying to get beyond that myself, learn the idioms of
Go.
11:41 < Innominate> People try and to tasks in the same idioms theyknow
11:41 < JBeshir> Coding C++ and Python side by side is really annoying,
actually, for that reason.
11:41 < nbaum> But I trust that the Go developers can tell if somebody is
just demanding that Go be more like Java because they like Java, and not because
they have a good idea about something which bares a resemblance to Java.
11:41 <+danderson> just as you can't have an opinion on certain things
without using the language for a while, you don't have to use it for years before
being allowed to have an opinion.
11:41 < me__> hmm, its been a week since the public release, no?
11:42 < Innominate> And one of the easiest criticisms of everything plan9 is
that a lot of otherwise simple tasks were replaced with relatively complex(yet
still simple) idioms
11:42 <+danderson> nbaum: so far, the interactions I've seen on the list
from the Go developers are like that, yes.
11:42 <+danderson> any idea is considered, but many are not feasible for
various reasons
11:42 < Innominate> Instead of having a direct way to do something, you come
up with an system that turns a common function into a relatively simple idiom

11:44 < Innominate> Is there a thread on the mailing list for why we can't
add methods to other packages?
11:44 < nbaum> danderson: Right.  It seems to me that it isn't the Go

very likely to change in various ways, given the right people to make it happen.
11:46 <+danderson> but the way to make it happen is not to go "omg you're
idiots why are you not doing this?"
11:46 <+danderson> which is what most threads sadly end up being right now
(for major language features at least)

11:47 <+danderson> the right way would be "here is a proposal for feature X,
here are the semantics, and here is what some representative piece of the stdlib
would look like if it were to use this language feature."
11:47 <+danderson> with that, you can start having a sensible discussion
about the feature, poke at edge cases, prototype the change into the compiler and
see how it behaves...
11:47 < Innominate> danderson: but it's far easier to shit on something than
it is to actually contribute, and programming languages an order of magnitude more
so
11:48 <+danderson> but, sadly, that's actual hard work, so the barrier is
higher than just going "omg you're idiots you should do this right now it's easy"

11:50 < PaulWay> Hi all!
11:51 < Innominate> Hullo
11:51 < me__> hi
11:51 < PaulWay> Ah, stupid me, I've just realised I was trying to compile
for 64-bit mode when I'm not running in 64-bit mode.
11:52 < s_mosher> you know I've only found two criticisms of the language
(that haven't been already brought up by the go team) which still seem like issues
to me
11:52 <+danderson> what are those?
11:52 < nbaum> s_mosher: Hmm.  Do you consider the "already brought up" ones
to include exceptions and generics?
11:52 <+danderson> (I don't have the required experience to have an
interesting opinion on much in Go, I'm just curious)
11:52 < vegai> p4p4: Reset and Truncate deallocate it, do they?
11:53 < s_mosher> one is changing something private to public or vice-versa
requires find/replace (I'm not too worried about this one)
11:53 < PaulWay> I'm all with Go on exceptions.
11:53 < Innominate> Can someone explain to me the practical difference
between exceptions and checking for error results from called functions?
11:53 < vegai> s_mosher: sed oneliner?
11:53 <+danderson> Innominate: boilerplate, mostly.
11:54 < JBeshir> In Go, yeah.
11:54 <+danderson> with return codes, at each level of the stack you have to
have a check that propagates the error upwards
11:54 < s_mosher> the other is providing a buffered channel to a routine
that expects to sync up on it
11:54 < Innominate> danderson: With all of the "BUT..  EXCEPTIONS" crap, it
can't be that simple can it?
11:54 < JBeshir> Languages with only one return value have a harder time.
11:54 < nbaum> vegai: Not if the same name occurs in different contexts.
11:54 < JBeshir> But Go isn't one of those.
11:54 <+danderson> with exceptions, control jumps straight to the first
point able to handle the problem.
11:54 < s_mosher> which is probably only going to affect people who are
doing the wrong thing
11:54 < Innominate> ahh
11:54 < JBeshir> Hmm.
11:54 < p4p4> vegai: i don't want to deallocate /allocate for every new line
i read makes that sense ?
11:54 < JBeshir> Would Go's method also be faster?
11:54 < JBeshir> I seem to recall something about exceptions being slow.
11:55 < exDM69> Innominate: some languages have exceptions with
continuations, a function where to continue after the error has been
reported/handled
11:55 <+danderson> but exceptions are hairy in the sense that they change a
lot of things in a language
11:55 < nbaum> vegai: But you will be able to do it with automated tools.
11:55 < me__> 'being slow' / 'being fast' are hard to say.  they do require
complexity.
11:55 <+danderson> and you have to consider interaction with other features
11:55 <+danderson> for example, what happens if you get an uncaught
exception in a goroutine?
11:55 < nbaum> JBeshir: I'm more interested in programmer time than CPU
time.
11:55 < Innominate> so uh the point of exceptioins is to be able to write
code that doesn't care about errors because you can trust some higher functiojn to
handle them?  Or am i missing something?
11:55 < JBeshir> nbaum: I know; twas mere idle thought.
11:56 <+danderson> does the program terminate?  Does the goroutine
terminate?  Do channels used by that goroutine get poisoned, so that the failure
propagates to cooperating goroutines?  etc.
11:56 -!- evilhackerdude [n=stephan@e181126179.adsl.alicedsl.de] has joined
#go-nuts
11:56 < PaulWay> Yeah, because everyone writes code that checks every
possible error of all of its subroutines...
11:56 < JBeshir> Exceptions are problematic as a user because they require
me be aware of all of them that a function can throw at all levels.
11:56 < me__> danderson: the failure propagates to nearby computers :)
11:56 < PaulWay> That's why exceptions suck.
11:56 < JBeshir> Sure, my function might not have to handle them, but I need
to remember that this means it, too, can throw that exception upwards.
11:56 < nbaum> PaulWay: Curiously, I think that's why error codes suck.
11:56 < s_mosher> poisoning channels would alter the notion of what a
channel can be used for
11:56 < JBeshir> So someone up the chain has to worry about it.
11:57 < JBeshir> Additional return values make this explicit.
11:57 < PaulWay> The way I see it, exceptions just make that laziness an
allowed thing in the language.
11:57 < nbaum> Exceptions should be throwable up channels, but only
explicitly.
11:57 < s_mosher> that might not be a bad thing but it's scary
11:57 < nbaum> PaulWay: Good.  I want to be lazy.
11:57 < Innominate> ok a slightly different question, in what way are
exceptions different from explicit multiple returns?
11:57 < PaulWay> By specifically saying 'no, we don't do exceptions, do your
own error handling' Go at least points out that that's false laziness.
11:57 < JBeshir> Innominate: They're less visible.
11:57 <+danderson> so, see, the number of suggestions and different
ideas/problems evoked in the past minute along are all things that have to be
resolved before exceptions can be added to Go :)
11:58 < JBeshir> Which has both good and bad parts.
11:58 < JBeshir> The good part is, less messy checks at each level to pass
it up.
11:58 < JBeshir> The bad part is, no visible checks at each level to pass it
up.
11:58 <+danderson> that's why the go team punted on exceptions for the first
release, because it's a hairy problem and they had lots of other hairy problems to
sort out first
11:58 < Innominate> So uh would it be fair to say that that is little
practical difference between exceptions and multiple returns?
11:58 -!- Jan_Flanders [n=chatzill@d54C1E33B.access.telenet.be] has joined
#go-nuts
11:58 <+danderson> it'll be inteesting to see what ends up happening with
exceptions.
11:58 < nbaum> Innominate: I don't so.
11:58 < JBeshir> Well, exceptions have lots more to them.
11:59 <+danderson> Innominate: not quite, because all functions up the call
stack then need boilerplate to propagate unhandled errors upwards
11:59 <+danderson> it's basically the infrastructure you get "for free" with
exceptions (it's not free, but it's in the language runtime)
11:59 < nbaum> The principle difference is whether every piece of code
between "where the error occurs" and "where the error is handled" needs to know
that the error might occur.
11:59 < JBeshir> On the other hand, with exceptions, all the users of the
functions all the way up the call stack needs to be aware that they are throwing
up/need to catch said exception.
11:59 < nbaum> Exceptions are, in my experience, a Big Win when you have
higher-order functions.
11:59 < PaulWay> Innominate: multiple returns can be used for exception
handling but they're far from being the same as.
12:00 < JBeshir> I find that harder than Go's explicit passing, as a
language user.
12:00 < Innominate> Ahh ok
12:00 < sergio> kfx, thanks for the pdf :)
12:00 < JBeshir> Exceptions are one of those easy to use, hard to use safely
things.
12:00 < JBeshir> IMHO.
12:00 < Innominate> So exceptions are basicallyh an automatic way pass the
error down the call stack?
12:00 <+danderson> it annoys me that I don't have the language design
experience to have a Real Opinion(tm) (ie.  one that is actually feasible to
implement)
12:00 < Innominate> So exceptions are basicallyh an automatic way to pass
the error down the call stack?
12:00 <+danderson> that said, from an amateur perspective, I really liked
Common Lisp's take on exceptions

12:00 < nbaum> danderson: Agreed.  CL does them very well.
12:01 < PaulWay> Innominate: Yes.
12:01 < me__> danderson: familiar with plan9's waserror() bits?
12:01 <+danderson> splitting the flow into conditions, handlers *and*
restarts, rather than forcing the restart to happen at the handler level, is
terribly cool imho.
12:01 < Innominate> woop, today i know a little bit more heh
12:01 < PaulWay> I like the observation that exceptions implement Intercal's
"COME FROM" semantics.
12:01 <+danderson> me__: nope, what are those?
12:01 < JBeshir> PaulWay: That was amusing, haha.
12:01 < Innominate> paul: got a link to it?
12:02 < me__> in the plan9 kernel, there is a form of 'exceptions',
implemented purely with setjmp/longjmp.
12:02 <+danderson> Plan9 is another one of those things that looks awesome,
and if only I had a machine to slow down time, I would check it out
12:02 < nikki93> danderson: If you slowed down time, it'd take longer to
download/bootup etc.  (relative to you).
12:02 < Innominate> plan9 is an entirely approriate name though
12:03 <+danderson> nikki93: I mean slow down time in the classic sci-fi
sense.  Slow down the world around be but not myself.
12:03 < me__> there is an error stack (a stack of strings) off to the side
in the Mach (think go's M) structure.  when you perform an operation that fails,
it calls error()
12:03 < vegai> life's too short for shitty operating systems
12:03 < frimend> danderson: clone yourself.
12:03 <+danderson> sadly, my unicorn has run out of magic rainbows for now,
so I have to deal with reality instead.
12:03 < nikki93> danderson: Yeah, so it'll still take longer to
bootup/download.  :P
12:03 < vegai> (it's too short for good ones too, but that's another thing)
12:04 < me__> the person up the callstack who wished to catch it did
if(waserror()), which had setup a jmp_buf, they can read the error and pop it off
the stack if they handled it.
12:04 <+danderson> hmm
12:04 < nbaum> plan9 has lots of very interesting ideas, but it find it to
be unusable in practical terms.

themselves.
12:05 < nbaum> Which is a shame.
12:05 < nikki93> nbaum: Interesting ideas are like that.  ;)
12:05 <+danderson> so when error() is called, you get a longjmp to the
closest if(waserror()), which can choose to handle it or leave it unhandled?
12:05 < frimend> So that they don't have to throw exceptions.
12:05 < nikki93> nbaum: Heard of 'lisp'?  :D
12:05 <+danderson> I think I'm not quite understanding it.
12:05 < me__> danderson: that's correct.
12:05 <+danderson> me__: and if the handler leaves it unhandled, the error
propagates to the next if(waserror()) ? That's the bit I'm confused about.
12:05 < nbaum> nikki93: It's not really the interesting ideas that are the
problem.  Or, at least, the ideas I consider interesting.  I think the plan9 GUI

12:11 < asmo> I'm more interested in Singularity than Plan9, though.

12:12 < nikki93> Like
12:12 < me__> jessta: iirc they started over.  they are in straight C#, not
sing# or spec#.
12:13 < nikki93> Within a function: while(doorIsOpen())
waitButLetOtherThingsRun();

12:13 < JBeshir> nikki93: Goroutines?
12:13 < nbaum> danderson: If the call stack is foo -> bar -> baz, you
don't usualy want to longjmp into foo and then into bar.
12:13 < nikki93> So basically, it must keep returning from that point, and
then continue from there.
12:13 < Innominate> i love the everything as a file concept
12:13 < nikki93> JBeshir: Really?  Because here it's a different case.  The
function gets called multiple times.

12:22 < asmo> nsz: Well, I'v looked quite hard
12:22 < nikki93> They do it frequently with stackless python.
12:22 < nikki93> I use Python as a scripting language in games.
12:22 < madmoose> and every LucasArts adventure game since then...
12:22 < nsz> asmo:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coroutine#Common_uses_of_coroutines
12:22 < me__> http://swtch.com/~rsc/talks/threads07/ is more fun.
12:23 < me__> specifically 'Threads or Events?'
12:23 < Innominate> madmoose: I dont think they massively multithreaded like
that
12:23 < me__> its like 20-slides in.
12:23 < nikki93> This is not multithreading in the OS-style.
12:23 < nikki93> It's threading within your app.
12:23 < me__> no, i lie.  its 5 slides in.  :)
12:23 < nikki93> Who talked about threads anyway?  We're talking about
'pause-continue' functions.  :P
12:23 < Innominate> nikki: Yea but i dont think that the summvm games did
that
12:23 < madmoose> Innominate: It's not necessarily "massive".  It's just a
script per object.
12:23 -!- aanishn [n=quassel@59.160.172.220] has quit [Remote closed the

12:23 < Innominate> A script per object is a HUGE difference from a thread
per objectr
12:24 < JBeshir> The obvious solution is to simply use a stored state of the
function in the object somewhere
12:24 < JBeshir> And use "if" to determine where it should "resume".
12:24 < Innominate> It's like comparing cars parked in a garage vs cards
going through an intersection
12:24 < asmo> nsz: That's not what I ment
12:24 < Innominate> cars...
12:24 < s_mosher> nikki93, why not request an event check (from something
that knows) with a receive channel and just block on receive from that channel?
12:24 < madmoose> Innominate: Not if your "threads" are light weight, like,
oh I don't know, goroutines.
12:24 < Innominate> True
12:24 < Innominate> Thats where go and stackless come into being

12:25 < nbaum> I believe the Unreal engine uses a lightweight "thread" per
object.
12:25 < sladegen> continuations were invented in the 1970's...
12:25 < nikki93> Almost all games do really
12:25 < Innominate> But that's a LONNNNNNNG way from anything scummvm did
12:25 < nikki93> They just iterate through all objects, call their 'tick'
method.  This is a usual way of doing things.
12:25 < madmoose> Not really that long.
12:25 < Innominate> Yes it is
12:25 < asmo> Most games do not use one thread per game object
12:25 < madmoose> Isn't.

12:26 < nikki93> Ok clear: What are we talking about when we say 'thread'?
12:26 < nsz> though they can be used to implement coroutines..
12:26 < Innominate> is a LOT different from per item scripts running
independently
12:26 < asmo> nikki93: Indeed, which is not the same thing as one thread per
object running concurrently
12:26 < nikki93> asmo: Which is also not waht I said.
12:26 < asmo> nikki93: Concurrency
12:26 < nikki93> asmo: I was talking about function preemption.
12:26 < nikki93> Pfft.  :P
12:26 < sladegen> nsz: same difference.
12:27 < Innominate> Old muds had items with scripts attached to them that
could run "independently" of the rest of the game when someone activated them
12:27 < asmo> nikki93: Ok, thats something else (:
12:27 < nikki93> Damn you guys.
12:27 < Innominate> That is far far different from what goroutines do
12:27 < nikki93> You wasted 20 minutes of my life!  D: :P
12:27 < asmo> I did?
12:27 < nikki93> So...  Any google people here?
12:27 < nikki93> asmo: Kinda.
12:28 < nsz> nikki93: you are talking gibberish
12:28 < s_mosher> nikki93, I don't think you can really preempt the way you
want to.  but I don't think you need to.  what's wrong with just blocking instead?
it's almost the same effect isn't it?

12:28 < asmo> nikki93: If you believe I wasted your time, I'm sorry, but at
least your learned something quite basic
12:28 < madmoose> Instead of running each script sequentially you just stuff
each script in a goroutine, make them wait in a channel and tick them once each
frame.
12:28 < nikki93> s_mosher: Yeah but this is cool.
12:28 < nikki93> asmo: Hey I was just joking.  Sure I learnt stuff.
12:29 < s_mosher> I like not having to yield

12:29 < s_mosher> "if you need to stop, sit on an unbuffered channel" pretty
much takes care of yield
12:29 < madmoose> In the go presentation, didn't he run 100000 goroutines in
about a second or two?
12:30 < Innominate> yes
12:30 < Innominate> Goroutines don't add much to overall cpu usage
12:30 <+danderson> yes, however there is overhead to running and switching
goroutines
12:30 <+danderson> so if you're really doing zero work in a goroutine, the
creation/channel chatter/teardown overhead is going to dominate actual computation
12:30 < Innominate> (But 100,000 goroutines is not a good idea)
12:31 < JBeshir> A few KB a thread is significant for some uses,
particularly a thread an object where objects are actually significantly smaller
than that.
12:31 < JBeshir> And that's the initial size of the stack for a goroutine,
if I recall half-right.
12:31 < madmoose> 4K, I believe.
12:32 < tokuhiro_______> hmm...  I get len(os.Args) is always 9.  Is this
the spec?

and release and it creates a shield in front of you
12:46 < mpl> Innominate: hold it for 2 secs and it creates a massive
discharge to destroy an oponenent shield
12:47 < mpl> so you had to balance between creating the right amount of
shields while destroying the others shields when you had several oponents
12:47 < mpl> you had to time it right.
12:47 < Innominate> but you can't win buckazoids with a laser!

13:31 < Snert> that would be a bummer
13:31 < Snert> sounds like a ulimit
13:31 < dho> thrwait/thrwakeup aren't difficult
13:32 < dho> Snert: from what i can think of right now, you're missing TLS
handling, you're missing several functions in sys.s (for instance setldt), when
the new stack is created, I think you're going to have to
mprotect(PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE|PROT_EXECUTE) those pages
13:32 < Snert> sure, if I had API docs or examples
13:32 < dho> librthread / sys/kern/kern_thr.c or whatever it is
13:32 < Snert> ok
13:32 < Snert> but what is setldt?
13:32 < dgnorton> g0 - each line in the notation is composed of elements
from the lines below it
13:33 < dho> kern_synch.c
13:33 < dgnorton> g0 - not sure how to explain it clearly
13:33 < dho> Snert: you need that to deal with TLS
13:33 < dho> it calls i386_set_ldt syscall
13:33 < dho> or sysarch if openbsd does it that way
13:33 < dgnorton> g0 - it's a typical or standard way of defining a
programming language
13:33 < dho> Snert: tbh you can probably get away with copying files i
changed for freebsd and openbsd-ifying most of them.
13:33 < Snert> i wouldn't know just yet, since I'm not a OS internals
person;
13:34 < dho> ok, i'll tell you
13:34 < dho> 1 sec
13:34 < Norgg> g0: It's a definition of EBNF written in EBNF?
13:34 < g0> dgnorton: I see, I'll try reading about EBNF, whatever that is
:)
13:34 < dho> Snert: yes, you call i386_set_ldt through sysarch like i o
13:34 < dho> do
13:34 < Snert> maybe I should just let some one else with the related
knowledge do this port; clearly its something I haven't touched on in years
13:34 < Norgg> EBNF is a language for describing grammars.
13:35 < g0> dgnorton: It'd be great if someone wrote what that means in
plain english

13:40 < dho> i386_set_ldt.
13:41 < dho> except it's a machine specific syscall,s o you get at it by
calling sysarch(I386_SET_LDT, &argptr)
13:41 < XniX23> where can i get the C pkg?
13:42 < Snert> dho: which is probably not documented except by looking at

17:36 < miloe> hi folks..  good to be here
17:36 < me___> from people who know limbo well...
17:36 < rog> me___: not entirely surprised - you were building a primitive
and then building on top of that rather than using the underlying primitives
directly.
17:36 < KirkMcDonald> The blog I just linked to suggests Python got it from
ABC.
17:36 < kfx> http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0204/
17:37 < me___> sure.  the ada folks should know that particular pain.
17:37 < rog> me___: what kind of thing do you want to hear about?
17:37 < rog> me___: i could compare & contrast
17:37 < timmcd> rrg
17:37 < me___> sure, that'd be pretty useful i think
17:38 < timmcd> horrible glare on my screen, right where my IRC is.  Maybe
someone should make a cool Go IRC client so I can re-arrange my screen.
17:38 < rog> go lacks first-class tuples and lists.  those are my big sore
spots.
17:38 < rog> and no dynamic modules - no inferno-shell-style shells.
17:38 * uriel misses tuples/lists too after much rc hacking...  but wont complain,
I love everything about go
17:38 < rog> but inferno's modules should be done like go interfaces.
17:38 < KirkMcDonald> rog: You can fake tuples, somewhat.
17:38 < me___> (sure, sh is pretty surprisingly powerful.)
17:39 < KirkMcDonald> rog: []interface{}
17:39 < rog> me___: it's not that surprising really - it's just another
half-baked LISP :-)
17:39 < me___> haha fair.
17:39 < WalterMundt> any plans to add some way to set request headers to

17:40 < me___> its nice that go can map procs onto more than one host
thread, compared to inferno.  but i guess thats more an inferno ism than limbo.
17:40 < kfx> do you need tuples if you have maps
17:40 < uriel> rc could use some of that poewr, but the more I use rc, the
more I feel it has one of the most sublime balances of power and simplicity
17:40 < rog> KirkMcDonald: yeah, but i like type safety - the declarative
nature of tuples is great for throwaway structured types.
17:40 < saati_> structs are closer to tuples than maps
17:40 < uriel> me___: AFAIK limbo can do that too
17:40 < KirkMcDonald> rog: interface{} can be entirely type safe.
17:40 < KirkMcDonald> rog: With a type switch.
17:41 < me___> uriel: only sort of.  when making a call onto a builtin
module, release() / acquire() happens, but only one thread can be in Dis at once.
17:41 < uriel> me___: infenro only creates new host threads when needed, not
for every limbo thread
17:41 < rog> KirkMcDonald: yeah, sorry.  should've said "i like static
typing"...
17:41 < me___> uriel: two for(;;); can't run concurrently in dis.
17:41 < uriel> ok, I don't know the details, so I guess I better shut up :)
17:41 < KirkMcDonald> rog: switch i.(type) { case string: /* i is a string
*/ case int: /* i is an int */ }
17:41 < uriel> me___: isn't the same in go?
17:41 < KirkMcDonald> rog: See?  Statically typed!  :-)
17:42 < me___> uriel: nope.  they can.
17:42 < KirkMcDonald> rog: Just ignore the dynamic stuff in the middle.
17:42 < me___> (i suppose this is something for #inferno though?)
17:42 < rog> KirkMcDonald: yeah i know.  but x: (int, string, chan[string])
is way more informative than x: []interface{}
17:42 < KirkMcDonald> rog: Certainly.
17:43 < WalterMundt> rog: how about x struct {a int, b string, c chan
string}?
17:43 < KirkMcDonald> Another feature I enjoyed in D: Type-safe variadics.
17:43 < rog> uriel: the funny thing was i made the inferno shell more
powerful by taking stuff away, not adding it!
17:43 < olegfink> rog: every time I think about what I miss in go, I release
I know where to get ocaml.  :-)
17:43 < WalterMundt> constructing something to pass in would be annoying,
but possible even without naming the struct
17:43 < olegfink> *realize
17:44 < KirkMcDonald> Translating the syntax to Go would look like: func f(x
[]int...) {}
17:44 < uriel> rog: yes, I know, but it is too general IMHO, and that is
what I mean by too powerful

better'

number of int arguments (or a single []int argument), and you'd get an []int.

place for this (why dis can't have more than one host thread in it?  also the

17:45 < dw> hi.  has anyone attempted bindings or a native driver for
talking to pgsql, or odbc yet?
17:46 < dw> i guess odbc would be the lower hanging fruit
17:46 < olegfink> I think there's some rule stating that any sufficiently
advanced shell is indistinguishable from TCL.
17:46 < me___> i was writing some TCL earlier today...
17:46 < rog> uriel: i think i know what you think is too powerful about it
(and you may be right) - you can deal with state that's not expressible as a
string or a file.
17:46 < uriel> dw: there are pgsql bindings:
http://go-lang.cat-v.org/library-bindings
17:47 < dw> uriel: damn that was quick
17:48 < uriel> rog: anyway, to end this offtopic discussion, I think
inferno's sh is great, I just happen to like rc better, even when I miss some of
the power some times, my brain is too limited to handle so much power anyway ;)
17:48 < rog> anyway, to get back to the subject, i think go could do the
"inferno-style-shell" thing (if it allowed dynamic modules and if each dynamically
loaded go module had all its own globals even if it shared modules with the
loaded)
17:48 < uriel> I have been thinking about a shell in go too :)
17:49 < uriel> but without dynamically loaded modules ;P
17:50 < rog> uriel: the thing is, a standard shell in go wouldn't be
anything different from a shell in any other language - all a shell can do is read
text, execute programs and manipulate file descriptors
17:50 < rog> uriel: the key is to try to incorporate the capabilities of go
in some fashion
17:50 < uriel> go's control structures have some benefits of rc's which has
some rather awkward cases

17:50 < rog> oh, you mean a shell with go syntax?
17:50 < rog> no point.
17:51 < rog> rc (and bourne shell) have about the best possible syntax for
interactive use IMHO
17:51 < uriel> rog: not go syntax, but more go-like syntax than rc's, and
written in go, because it seems like a nice language to write shell in
17:51 < timmcd> Only if you can make it beat out zshell ^_^

18:36 < exch> ah righty.  Well at some point you just have to take control
and make a decision
18:36 < yuanxin> rog: if you need the parts your program is made of to have
an "I've finished" notification channel, then write them that way
18:36 < rog> yuanxin: i haven't necessarily written all the parts my program
is made of...
18:37 < rog> i think the real question is: who decides how long the program
executes for?
18:37 < exch> if you include external, non verifiable code in the
goroutines, you enter a world of potential hurt.  A strict protocl would not be a
luxury.  That includes saying that at some point you will demand the routines to
quit if they don't supply any meaningul signals.
18:37 < yuanxin> rog: wrap the other part in a goroutine that polls to see
if it's finished, and notify on a channelw hen it is
18:37 < rog> currently the main process is total arbiter

18:39 < yuanxin> or even if you did, how making main wait for all goroutines
to terminate would help you
18:40 < yuanxin> maybe you could give a more concrete example...
18:40 < rog> yuanxin: for instance, i could imagine setting up a pipeline of
processes to spool a job to a printer.  the main process is expecting nothing out
of the pipeline, but it still wants to wait until the printer has all the job.

18:42 < rog> if the person writing the asynchronous printer-access library

18:42 < exch> in that case the printer -access code has a bug
18:42 < rog> the pipeline is connect via channels, of course
18:42 < yuanxin> seems like poor library design
18:42 < exch> you really need the signaling mechanism
18:43 < rog> exch: in that case *any* routine that doesn't provide an
exit-notification channel has a bug

18:46 < flyguy> is there any way to kill a goroutine from outside the
goroutine?
18:46 < rog> flyguy: nope
18:46 < yuanxin> flyguy: this was discussed on the list, let me try to find
it
18:47 < directrixx> flyguy: use a channel to send it a message
18:47 < flyguy> so if I want to have a goroutine that does stuff, but only
for certian amout of time (timeout of sorts), I have to build a stop channel into
the goroutine?
18:48 < yuanxin> flyguy: basically yeah
18:48 < flyguy> and then have the goroutine poll the channel?
18:48 <+iant> flyguy: you could use an explicit timeout, I suppose, although
that would in effect just mean receiving a signal on a channel
18:48 < directrixx> flyguy: exactly
18:48 <+iant> flyguy: if the goroutine is not based on reading values from a
channel, then, yes, it would have to poll the channel periodically
18:48 < yuanxin> imo "go doSomething()" should return some sort of goroutine
struct on which you can call a method to kill it
18:49 <+iant> killing a goroutine asynchronously is hard
18:49 < flyguy> please elaborate on explicit timeout - is there a built-in
way to kill a goroutine after a certain amount of time?
18:49 <+iant> it's very hard to write a way to make that safe
18:49 < rog> it's not only hard, it's fundamentally unsafe
18:49 < yuanxin> interesting...  why is this?
18:50 <+iant> flyguy: no, you would in effect set up a channel which would
have a value sent on it after some time
18:50 <+iant> flyguy: so the problem reduces to the previous problem
18:50 <+iant> yuanxin: because a goroutine might be in the middle of the
runtime doing some locked operation
18:50 < rog> yuanxin: because the code might be in the middle of some op on
a crucial data structure
18:50 <+iant> yuanxin: or it might even have some user level mutex locked
18:50 < flyguy> so, the function that creates the goroutine might create
another goroutine that waits a specified amount of time and sends the kill
signal...
18:50 <+iant> flyguy: essentially, yes
18:51 < rog> iant: what ian says, only it's more worse than that, because it
could be in the middle of some cooperative protocol with another goroutine
18:51 -!- pshahmumbai [n=prashant@59.164.24.169] has quit ["Ex-Chat"]
18:52 < rog> flyguy: i think the idea is to fire off two threads, one that

18:52 -!- __ed [i=bitch@anal-co.it] has joined #go-nuts
18:52 < rog> flyguy: the only difficulty is: even if the timeout fires, the

currently.

18:54 < rog> flyguy: the only case is if you're havily compute-bound
18:54 <+iant> flyguy: if you ever block, you can arrange to block on a
channel, and then you can use select

18:55 < rog> flyguy: if you're in a loop, then you can usually arrange that
the loop only blocks on a channel read, in which case it can select for the kill
channel too.

18:57 < yuanxin> I mean obviously this is something you can set up yourself
trivially so I guess it's not a big deal
18:57 < dho> rog: couldn't you just set up a goroutine wrapper around
syscall calls?
18:57 < rog> yeah you could
18:57 < rog> and it might be a nice thing to do actually
18:58 <+iant> I think there would be some advantage to providing that in the
standard library, though we would also want the direct syscalls
18:58 < uriel> yuanxin: you mean something like this:
http://man.cat-v.org/plan_9/2/ioproc ?
18:58 < rog> so that you easily have a syscall interface that's composable
with timeouts etc
18:58 < flyguy> yuanxin: I guess I'm not seeing the triviality of it.  If
the syscall blocks, how do you get around to polling the quit channel to know when
to give up?

know there is a new kernel bitrotting in the labs that might get released any day
and make all your work obsolete)
21:53 < reppie> kernel work is the best kind of work
21:53 < uriel> anyway, I really love how Go development is being managed

21:54 < uriel> other than the lack of roadmap (which is somewhat
understandable and I hope will be addressed), Go is doing right everything Plan 9
did wrong (from the project management pov)
21:54 < uriel> dho: I thought the bg was different from 9k
21:54 < dho> it uses the 9k kernel
21:54 < uriel> (the bg port I mean)
21:55 < uriel> isn't bg ppc?
21:55 < dho> yes, but the kernel bits are not arch-specific...
21:55 < uriel> aha, so the kernel changes have been released now, just not
the amd64 bits?
21:55 < dho> it looked like it when i looked at the bg/p and bg/l stuff
21:56 <+danderson> um, that sounds like the walled garden open source model

over the wall with an open source license?
21:56 < dho> no

that even exist?" :))
23:17 < uriel> heh
23:18 < dho> nacmartin: it currently will do that.
23:18 < dho> go presents to you a blocking interface to non-blocking
sockets.
23:18 < nacmartin> (*TCPConn) Read ?
23:18 < uriel> never been to slovakia, was planning to, but ended up going
directly from austria to hungary, I only spent three days in Slovenia, but found
it really beautiful, and everyone was very friendly
23:18 < dho> you're expected to spawn a goroutine and communicate over
channels
23:19 < nacmartin> then is the channel the blocking component?
23:19 < XniX23> uriel: european?
23:19 < uriel> XniX23: I'm from Spain, living in Sweden now
23:19 < dho> nacmartin: no, the stuff under the hood in fd_$(GOOS) is the
blocking component
23:19 < dho> nacmartin: take a look at pkg/net/fd_$(GOOS).go
23:19 < timmcd> uriel: So you know swedish?
23:19 < nacmartin> ok, thanks, dho
