go

Playing with go. Late to the party, but it's fun, I think.

thoughts

• fast
• some level of type-safety (just scratched the surface so far)
• good tool support (fast (!) compilation, the go tool itself, fetching libraries built-in, though versioning is missing)
• simple (mostly, goroutines + no proper sync will bite you, thinking helps, as always)

qst - run things quickly (and easily)

intended to be run in unfamilar environments, might detect the project type and everything later, for now you pass it a file and it will decide what to do with it.

• qst hello_world.go: compiles and runs hello_world.go, rerunning after it exits or the file is saved

  quite fun for small things, just throw some code in a file, have qst watch and restart when appropriate.

• the future: just run qst and it will run the first thing it detects
