00:09 < vsmatck> Hm. Seems like having interface{} as a parameter generally
indicates bad design doesn't it?  I got a function that I want to be able to take
any struct or any map.  I'm thinking about making interface with Map() and
Struct() functions.
00:09 < vsmatck> Which return a pointer to a map or struct, or nil.  Bad
idea?
00:09 < vsmatck> I don't really like checking with reflect at runtime to
make sure the type is right because it makes the program..  ehh brittle.
00:09 < edsrzf> It's more like having interface{} as a parameter indicates
Go needs generics.  :)

00:10 < edsrzf> vsmatck: The problem with your interface with Map or Struct
methods is, what return type will those methods have?
00:10 < exch> Not sure how that makes a different.  Anything implementing
that interface would have to return both a struct and a map
00:10 < exch> if it doesn,t your back to checking what you received
00:11 < vsmatck> Oh true..  The map can be map[string]interface{}, but the
struct can be anything.
00:11 < vsmatck> This won't work.
00:11 -!- boscop__ [~boscop@f055131202.adsl.alicedsl.de] has quit [Read error:
Connection reset by peer]
00:11 < edsrzf> Yeah, there's just no way to do that kind of thing right now
without reflection.
00:11 < exch> You probably need to ask yourself: Is it really that bad to
create separate functions for a map and the struct cases?
00:13 < vsmatck> I'm converting structs in to maps, then merging the maps
together.  I think maybe I could have an object with two different functions for
struct and map like you suggest.  I could call this multiple times to add stuff to
it.  Like a container.
00:18 < vsmatck> I guess I could still make it look nice.  I could do like
C++ ostream where it chains.  Like v := o.AddMap(mymap).AddStruct(mystruct)

00:25 < vsmatck> edsrzf: I just realized that you're the mongogo guy.  :)
00:26 < vsmatck> I sent you that email a while back about how I was making
mongogo also.  heh
00:26 < edsrzf> Oh, cool.
00:26 < vsmatck> I ended up using redis for my project.  And made a
connector for that.
00:27 < edsrzf> I've retired mongogo now.  I wasn't putting enough time into
it and there are better mongoDB packages out there now anyway.

00:28 < vsmatck> I haven't looked in a while.  I know a few months ago when
I was looking at gomongo it had problems.
00:28 < vsmatck> It was pretty much just their bson code was missing
features.
00:28 < vsmatck> Not sure how it is now.
00:28 < edsrzf> I found the interface very awkward.
00:29 -!- hcatlin [~hcatlin@pdpc/supporter/professional/hcatlin] has joined
#go-nuts
00:29 < vsmatck> yeah me too.  It was awkward so I created a package just to
interface with it because there was so much boilerplate needed.
00:30 < vsmatck> I like the way redis is all strings a bit better.  Then I
do my own marshaling if I need.  Seems to create less boilerplate so I can mix it
in with my application and not clutter things up too bad.
00:33 < vsmatck> I settled on this method of making database calls async.
http://pastie.org/1824168 I make a bunch of go routines to complete the call.
Then I add to the results map "f" in the end.
00:33 < vsmatck> The ttlPretty function does a sync database call.

01:26 < ccallahan> edsrzf, So, If I used that Gist correctly, if I had a
program that extracted a tar to say, /plugins, I should have this?

01:28 < edsrzf> Almost
01:28 < edsrzf> io.Copy's signature is io.Copy(io.Reader, io.Writer), but
your passing a string as the first parameter.
01:28 < edsrzf> You probably want it to be a file.
01:29 < edsrzf> s/your/you're
01:29 < edsrzf> In this case, I guess you want io.Copy(untarred, f), like
the original.

properly tell everything it's connected to that it's shutting down, and save
state, is nice, though.
05:10 < Namegduf> Go makes signal handling nice and pretty.

06:17 < eiro> i think it's possible because of the erlang vm so there is no
such thing in go world
06:17 < eiro> i would like to be sure
06:18 < cbeck> I don't believe so, but you'd have to look at the profiler
06:21 < jessta_> eiro: goroutines aren't really the same as erlang's
processes
06:22 < |Craig|> eiro: I haven't used erlang, but its my understanding that
erlang is inherently distributed, and go isn't.  Go is more focused on having a
high performance server, perhaps using several processor cores, than using several
computers.  Multi computer level stuff is up to the programmer in go, though there
are a few tools that help
06:23 < jessta_> Go's version of OTP would be a shell running top
06:23 < eiro> ok so my friend just means "go have concurrency too" :)
06:23 < eiro> thanks for clarifying, guys
06:24 < Namegduf> I think you might be confusing "alternative" with "is
identical to".
06:24 < |Craig|> if you were looking into erlan because you wanted to write
multithreaded programs, then go is a good alternative
06:24 < Namegduf> Go has concurrency and parallelism, but not across
multiple computers.
06:24 < cbeck> Unless you code it to do so
06:24 < Namegduf> It does not have a management consolely thing and each
concurrent thing does not have a single message queue and such for messages to be
sent to.
06:25 < cbeck> Which it provides support for, but doesn't do for you
06:25 < eiro> ok: basically i want to use erlang because i would like to use
OTP to manage a huge asset of perl scripts to run ditributed.  i miss distribution
and erlang seems to be good at
06:26 < Namegduf> In that case, Go does not provide a pre-existing thing for
that.
06:26 < eiro> so i keep on looking at go and learning erlang.
06:26 < eiro> thanks
06:26 < Namegduf> Sounds sensible.

type switch, or multiple channels with types and select?
07:27 < jessta_> depends on what you're doing

09:25 < tyha2> is there a way to print the first rune from a string without
doing: for _,v := range myStr { fmt.Println(v); break } ? myStr[0] gives the first
byte, which is not the same thing
09:26 < tyha2> and by print, I just mean easily access.
09:28 < aiju> tyha2: i for one just define it as a routine

12:46 < taruti> phoeton: see the xplor source for tips
12:46 < phoeton> Thank you.  I will.
12:47 < phoeton> Just out of interest: have you tried actually writing and

12:47 < taruti> acme and emacs
12:48 < phoeton> Only with syntax highlighting or coupled with gocode?
12:48 < taruti> btw what is the current state-of-the-art patch series for
plan9 crosscompilation?
12:49 < phoeton> I'm not sure what you mean.  Do you mean as in
comp.os.plan9 porting?  Or as in actual crosscompilation?
12:49 < phoeton> (Sorry English isn't my native language...  :-( )
12:50 < taruti> I do have an ancient native and a newer cross compiling tool
chain but that is kind of old and wondering what is the proper place to update.
12:51 < taruti> https://bitbucket.org/paulzhol/golang-plan9-runtime ?
12:51 < phoeton> Still think I'm getting you wrong here, but the place to
get the latest Plan9-style tool chain would be golang.org wouldn't it?

12:55 < phoeton> I'm sorry, but I'm a little confused by something:
12:56 < phoeton> If you get
https://bitbucket.org/paulzhol/golang-plan9-runtime-patches, why would you still
need your own patches on top of that?
12:56 < phoeton> Seems to be working just fine as is...
12:57 < taruti> phoeton: e.g.  some net package support.
12:58 < phoeton> Well you wouldn't really need to get make that a patch,
unless you want to redistribute it, in which case it might be nice to just include
it in a fork of paulzhol and maybe merge it into his patches.
12:59 < phoeton> Just a thought.
12:59 < phoeton> taruti: Sorry for not including your name in my msgs, I'm
not really used to IRC.
13:00 < taruti> np
13:00 < taruti> yes, I should submit the patches, but they are really hacky
thus would need time to finalize them.
13:04 < phoeton> I don't think that's so much of a problem as people make it
to be all the time (not a criticizm, just in general ;) ).  "Hacky" is fine, as
long as "Working" also describes the code.  In general, I'd rather someone submit
something slightly hacky and working now and clean it up later (with the help of
others) than sit on his source forever and by the time it's clean, other people
have implemented the same thing themselves.
13:05 < phoeton> While I love pluralism in OpenSource in general, I think
less time spent sitting on code could help save other people time, taruti.

13:49 < phoeton> If you just want to take an image as input and another
image file as output and define a function that makes the second image smaller
than the first, it is a little different business than taking an image as input
and rendering a smaller version to the screen.
13:50 < phoeton> The first thing can be done in "pure" go (depending on file
format, of course), the second would need to involve quite some non-standard
C-library work.

16:10 < phoeton> In fact, you can, pretty easily:
16:11 < phoeton> You simply define your own ResponseWriter that uses gzip.
16:11 < phoeton> ResponseWriter isn't a complicated interface to implement.
16:11 < exch> yea.  not sure if it's 'simple' though
16:12 < exch> afaik, the http package should do that by itself
16:12 < exch> ohg wlel.  I'll roll my own
16:12 < exch> *oh well
16:12 < phoeton> Well, you can use a normal http.ResponseWriter internally.
16:12 < phoeton> So you don't need to reimplement the wheel.
16:12 < phoeton> Just wrap the gzip compression around it using your own
function, and that's it.
16:13 < phoeton> Should be very few lines of code.

17:20 < Viriix>
http://blog.golang.org/2011/01/go-slices-usage-and-internals.html << was a
real interesting read
17:20 < rm445> I had heard that patents were getting out of control, but
being able to patent a phrase?  Crazy!
17:20 < rm445> Oh well, in 17 years it will be in the public domain.
17:23 < Viriix> i'm kind of dissapointed that i'm writing my pet project web
server in C and not Go
17:25 < Viriix> but Go's http parser isnt stream based and thats the key
feature
17:25 < aiju> "stream based"?
17:26 < Viriix> yeah, like SAX is to XML parsing
17:26 < aiju> i don't know SAX
17:26 < Viriix> http://lloyd.github.com/yajl/ << thats a stream based
parser for json
17:26 < Viriix> it does the parsing, and you provide the callbacks on what
you want to do with certain tokens
17:27 < aiju> sounds ugly
17:27 < Viriix> Go's lack of a stream based parser for JSON too is also a
deterent for me
17:27 < aiju> you could use channels
17:27 < Viriix> doesnt sound like what i want at all
17:27 < Viriix> the entire point is to not parse the entire request/document
into a massive structure
17:28 < aiju> yeah
17:28 < ww> i think aiju's right - an idiomatic streaming parser would send
tokens on channels and not use callbacks i think
17:28 < aiju> and that's what you can fucking do with channels
17:28 < Viriix> channels sure
17:28 < ww> callbacks are what other languages do because they don't have
channels :P
17:28 < aiju> exactly
17:28 < Viriix> but does go-http support that?
17:28 < Viriix> which is all that matters
17:28 < aiju> just roll your own, i mean what's the point of writing a HTTP
server if you just plumb things together
17:28 < taruti> Viriix: write your go-http-the-better-way
17:28 < Viriix> i also don't want to write an http parser
17:29 < Viriix> as thats not the end goal of the project
17:29 < aiju> but?
17:29 < aiju> i mean what else is there left?
17:30 < Viriix> :) route negotiation, route specific middleware, global
request middleware
17:30 < Viriix> all kinds of fun stuff
17:30 < Viriix> streaming filters
17:30 < Viriix> http parsing is just where the fun begins
17:30 < aiju> route negotiation ...  have i missed something about HTTP?
17:31 < Viriix> you're thinking to concrete in terms of HTTP
17:31 < Viriix> as a protocol that is
17:31 < aiju> route negotation doesn't have hits on Google ;P
17:31 < aiju> (hits related to http and not to airplanes, that is)
17:32 < Viriix> the same way varnishd or nginx route requests
17:32 < Viriix> the same way web frameworks route requests
17:33 < aiju> ah that's fanciish for "starting a script"?
17:33 < Viriix> the act of routing a request to an action, a resource and or
a set of filters
17:33 < Viriix> not really
17:33 < Viriix> because the end route may be just to a file
17:33 < aiju> "answering the request"
17:34 < Viriix> yeah, which is where the rest of the web server ends :)
17:34 < Viriix> the rest is the magic in between

17:35 < ww> hang on, i misread....
17:35 < aiju> "Update copyright headers"
17:35 < ww> i could see you wanting to do html/xml parsing in a streaming
way...
17:35 < aiju> WOWWWWW THAT CODE
17:36 < ww> but with http, other than making a goroutine for a new
connection...
17:36 < aiju> macros
17:36 < ww> why would you bother?
17:36 < aiju> ww: because web browsers nowadays send 4 GB requests
17:36 < Viriix> pinching bytes
17:36 < ww> aiju: payload....
17:36 < ww> not 4gb of headers
17:36 < aiju> ww: that was the joke man
17:37 < Viriix> the server will only store whats needed based on the deps
specified by the negotiated route
17:37 < Viriix> just something no ones done before and i want to try it out

18:39 < ww> iant: awful lot of scaffolding supporting your
MakeFilteredRange...
18:39 <+iant> ww: sure, but that is all in some package that you import
18:40 < ww> much of which needs to be duplicated for each element type (with
opening the g- discussion again)
18:41 <+iant> yes, generics is a separate issue, but then thinks like "range
10" are pretty much only going to be used for integral types anyhow
18:41 <+iant> s/thinks/things/
18:42 < ww> really?  i almost never use them on integral types in python
18:42 < uriel> adg, iant: any chance of a "Fireside Chat with the Go team"
at Google I/O?  It would be way more interesting than a talk on writting web apps
in Go
18:42 <+iant> you write "range 10" for a string type?  what does that mean?
18:42 <+iant> uriel: I think there will be Go office hours at I/O, but then
that will only be useful for people who actually attend
18:43 <+iant> I think for I/O a talk will be more appropriate, most
attendees will not be Go users
18:43 < ww> one common case for me is to have a set of things (in my work,
rdf statements)
18:43 < ww> and i use a comprehension to extract a subset (which means add
the members of a subset to a new set container (graph))
18:44 <+iant> sure, but then you aren't using "range 10", right?  you're
using a filter
18:44 <+iant> yes, that requires generics in the general case
18:44 < uriel> iant: precusely, because most attendees wont be Go users the
office hours wont be too useful to all the Gophers that wont go to I/O (because
really there isn't much incentive for us to join)
18:44 < ww> so [g1.add(s) for s in g0.filter(...)]
18:45 <+iant> uriel: I think a fireside chat is a good idea, I just don't
think Google I/O is the right venue

18:51 < uriel> really, the main reason I suggested Google I/O is that I'd
expect most of the Go team to already be around, I'm not sure what other
opportunities there are for such a thing
