Breaking my Twitter silence because @junyer has passed away, and this is the site where he was most active. I know we had at least a few followers in common. There is a public memorial page of sorts at github.com/google/re2/iss….

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/ProjectO…

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/ProjectO……, which has all 3 PDFs and apparently running code.

What TikTok-to-Twitter bot has been posting tweets with Go package fmt errors in them for the past year+ without any of its users caring?

Replying to @BRIAN_____
@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!
