The Go programming language

Go may be our generation's most important new programming language. It is exceptionally expressive, highly efficient in both compilation and execution, and enables the development of extremely reliable and robust programs. It shares the same spirit programmers once found in C: it helps serious professional programmers achieve maximum effect with minimum means. Now, Go shares something else with C, too. Brian Kernighan, who wrote the world's most respected and useful C primer for working programmers, has just done the same for Go. Together with Google Go insider Alan Donovan, Kernighan explains what Go does and doesn't borrow from C ... the great ideas it borrows from other modern languages ... and how it avoids features that lead to unnecessary complexity and unreliable code. Throughout, their short, carefully-crafted code examples demonstrate today's most effective Go idioms, so you can start using Go effectively right from the beginning, and quickly take advantage of its full power. All code has been extensively reviewed by Go's creators at Google for both completeness and accuracy

Thorsten Ball - Why threads can't fork

There is an interesting thread on the Go issue tracker about daemonizing processes. Most of the thread is not about daemonizing processes though, but more about why Go has no Fork() function which you can call directly in your code. The first time I read through it I was wondering and saying to myself: “Yeah, why is there no Fork()? It surely can’t be that hard to implement.” After all you can already call system calls with the syscall package. As I read more and more I realized that the problem is not implementing Fork() per se, but rather implementing Fork() to work safely in a multi-threaded environment, which most Go programs are. So I tried to find out why.

Optimizing Protocol Buffers in Go Applications

If you’ve ever wondered why your Go service is eating memory like it’s at an all-you-can-eat buffet, chances are you haven’t optimized your Protocol Buffers usage. I’ve been there, watching heap profiles with the kind of horror usually reserved for checking your bank account after a night out. But here’s the good news: Protocol Buffers in Go can be wickedly fast and memory-efficient when you know the tricks. Let me walk you through the optimization techniques that transformed my services from memory-hungry monsters into lean, mean, serialization machines.
