If anyone here is interested, a DOS game jam was announced recently for a streaming event called DOSember. https://itch.io/jam/dosember-game-jam Starts in a couple of weeks and lasts for three months.
This might not exist, but could you recommend a text that _does_ cover refactoring for a functional and immutable approach? I would be interested in reading something like that.
Ah thank you! I currently have the MS-DOS Encyclopedia (not the first first edition https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/larryosterman/2004/06/14/do... which was apparently a little _too_ detailed) which is pretty informative. I'll track down your recommendations though.
Thanks for that. 'expvar' looks like a great hidden gem for go development. Unfortunately most of our services aren't written in Go so we might have to write our own if there isn't a handy library we could write bindings for.
The author talks about Graphite and Prometheus as instrumentation systems but they're for collecting data. What do people recommend as a linkable library for collecting metrics in the service process? (before it is collected). A quick google gave me 'go-metrics' and 'dropwizard metrics' but the code I'm working on will require linking with a native C library.
Whenever I hear of a golang binding to a library implemented in C++ I'm always interested to see how they map the class hierarchy to golang's type model which doesn't have traditional inheritence.
Does QT's class hierarchy map cleanly to Go? Is it just interfaces everywhere?
(I'm not trying to start a language war, just genuinely curious.)
