2024 resolution to stop posting here still in effect but updating forwarding address. Now at bsky.app/profile/swtch.com I'd been using russcox, but it looks like after the rename bluesky let someone else take it!

Wirth and Gutknecht did this–documented code for a full system–with Project Oberon, published as a hardcover book in 1992 and recently updated as a free PDF: people.inf.ethz.ch/wirth/Pro… Like Knuth’s books, it’s fascinating to flip through and (for me) hard to read cover-to-cover.

In replies, @DougMerritt pointed out that a better link is to people.inf.ethz.ch/wirth/Pro……, which has all 3 PDFs and apparently running code.

Replying to @BRIAN_____
People who want reproducibility independent of C toolchain can disable cgo and use pure Go net. But if a system has custom .so files listed in /etc/nsswitch.conf, net must use cgo to run them. In general we can't predict that, so using cgo is conservative but correct.

Really enjoyed this conversation with @_rsc, co-creator of Go. Russ is one of my favorite programming language experts out there!
I write @golang most days, so it was fun to have @_rsc on the @consoledotdev podcast to chat with @jeanqasaur and me about the origins of the language, running a large open source project, and principles of language design! console.dev/podcast/s04e03-c…
