Why I Like Go

A slightly updated version of this doc is here on my website.

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.

Pretty prompt

Add this into ~/.bash_profile

parse_git_dirty() {
  [[ $(git status 2> /dev/null | tail -n1) != "nothing to commit (working directory clean)" ]] && echo -en ""  
}
parse_git_info() {
   git branch 2> /dev/null | sed -e '/^[^*]/d' -e "s/* \(.*\)/ (\1)$(parse_git_dirty)/"

How to add a custom domain name on your localhost using XAMPP. Codes are based on Windows, but Step 2 onwards are pretty much applicable on other operating system.
Step 1:
Go to: C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts
And add this to the bottom of the file:
=============
127.0.0.1 your.domain.com
=============
Step 2:
Go to [your XAMPP directory]/apache/conf/httpd-xampp.conf

A subtle difference between Ruby's Hash.fetch(:key, :default) vs. (Hash[:key] || :default)
h = {
'a' => :a_value,
'b' => nil,
'c' => false
}
h.fetch('a', :default_value) #=> :a_value
h.fetch('b', :default_value) #=> nil
h.fetch('c', :default_value) #=> false
h.fetch('d', :default_value) #=> :default_value

Big list of http static server one-liners

Each of these commands will run an ad hoc http static server in your current (or specified) directory, available at http://localhost:8000. Use this power wisely.
