Why I Like Go

I visited with PagerDuty yesterday for a little Friday beer and pizza. While there I got started talking about Go. I was asked by Alex, their CEO, why I liked it. Several other people have asked me the same question recently, so I figured it was worth posting.

Goroutines

The first 1/2 of Go's concurrency story. Lightweight, concurrent function execution. You can spawn tons of these if needed and the Go runtime multiplexes them onto the configured number of CPUs/Threads as needed. They start with a super small stack that can grow (and shrink) via dynamic allocation (and freeing). They are as simple as go f(x), where f() is a function.

Upgrade Django from 1.1 to 1.5.1. This highlights some of the issues that one may encounter when updating Django. It's not possible to cover every case, but this should provide a good general starting point.

Change to DATABASES variable in settings.py.

Django now supports multiple databases and changes are needed to how the database connections are defined.

Changed in Django 1.2
Change Required by Django 1.4
Source:

Zoom the Gitter Desktop window

On Windows: Gitter -> Developer Tools

Paste this into the console, change the zoomLevel to the desired value.

var desktopWindow = gui.Window.get();
desktopWindow.zoomLevel = 0;

LambdaContext

Here is the raw output from examining the Python LambdaContext context object in a AWS Lambda function when called from a CloudFormation stack. More information on the context object can be found here : http://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/python-context-object.html

LambdaContext object : `print(context)`

<__main__.LambdaContext object at 0x7fd706780710>

LambdaContext vars : `vars(context)`
