Some news on my Go activities
During the last days I've been busy with and around Googles programming language Go. I've continued my development of the Tideland Common Go Library (http://code.google.com/p/tideland-cgl/) which is the base for future developments. The first application I'm already designing is called Tideland Knowledge Management and Retrieval, a kind of wiki with structured facts that have individual typed properties, tags, and semantic references. So the CGL will contain almost everything I need for such a kind of server applications:
- a container for business logic,
- a framework for the web front end,
- authentication, authorization, and accounting,
- monitoring,
- and more.
Just take a look at the link above. Here you can follow the progress, view and retrieve the sources, and place issues. The next part I'll implement is a kind of supervisor like it is known from Erlang. There are restrictions in Go, but I've already got some ideas. If it works alright it will be integrated into the logic container, which is already usable right now.
Beside developing I've finished my first article about Go. It will be printed next month. Additionally I'm preparing a talk about Go I'll give at the iX CeBIT Forum 2010 on March, 2nd. Maybe some of you are there so that we can discuss a bit about Go later.
