Actually, I was asked about perl support a while ago. I think the biggest issues with those labguages is that nobody would be willing to maintain the upstream support in a useful way. Regarding go, I gave up. This is not about the language that I barely know, or the fact that the ecosystem is huge, which also comes with its downsides. The issue for me is that every time I tried to build some go program on my systems, it broke my filesystem. I don't know if that's only a cwfs issue, maybe it's better on hjfs and gefs, but that's the reason why I refuse to run any go stuff on my system. sirjofri ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/Tf84d656c78bbda91-M4ece23d2f193bb1c4e9c01be Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
