The Go Programming Language

Good day! Try out [The Go Programming Language].

As quoted from its home page,

Go is …

… simple


package main
	
import "fmt"
	
func main() {
  fmt.Printf("Hello, 世界\n")
}

… fast
Go compilers produce fast code fast. Typical builds take a fraction of a second yet the resulting programs run nearly as quickly as comparable C or C++ code.

… safe
Go is type safe and memory safe. Go has pointers but no pointer arithmetic. For random access, use slices, which know their limits.

… concurrent
Go promotes writing systems and servers as sets of lightweight communicating processes, called goroutines, with strong support from the language. Run thousands of goroutines if you want—and say good-bye to stack overflows.

… fun
Go has fast builds, clean syntax, garbage collection, methods for any type, and run-time reflection. It feels like a dynamic language but has the speed and safety of a static language. It’s a joy to use.

Architecture Complexity

Here are the items to consider: Coding to an interface Service Oriented Architecture Automated Testing Domain Driven Design Custom Data Access Layer Layered architecture Complexity is relatively equal the number of lines of code. Note that complexity is not bad. It must be justified.

Android Studio:Unknown Host Error

After installing Android Studio, I got the following error: Unknown host 'services.gradle.org'. Please ensure the host name is correct. If you are behind an HTTP proxy, please configure the proxy settings either in Android Studio or Gradle.

Java Lambda Expressions / Closures

Lambda expressions are just (anonymous) functions. f(x) = x can be expressed as x→x f(x, y) = x*x + y*y can be expressed as x, y→x*x + y*y In simple Java terms, 1. Return an int 23 with a void argument int j = { => 23 }.invoke(); 2. Closure with 1 argument, convert 23 kilograms to pounds double j = { double kilograms => kilograms*2.2D }.invoke(23); 3. Closure with 2 arguments, get the sum of the 2 squares int squareSum = { int x, int y => (x*x) + (y*y) }.invoke(2,3); 4. Closure returning an instance and invoking an instance method { new RocketLauncher() }.invoke().fire(); Every time a closure is created at compile time, an interface is automatically created for each expression having an invoke method with a signature depending on the number of arguments, then an anonymous subclass of this interface is constructed. Enjoy!
