Also I understand this is going into GCC proper. Ian Lance Taylor (a
well known GCC hacker) is the Google lead.
Apparently there will be a new -fsplit-stack feature added to the GCC
middle end. Split stacks make it possible to have open-ended numbers of
threads. With more (and lightweight) threads, more ways to get around
data hazards as well as to fill up cores...

Re: The Go Programming Language

I haven't looked lately: how thread-safe are the c++ stl implementations these days?

GCC's libstdc++ has this.

http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/parallel_mode.html

It's based on OpenMP (gomp). But that's a different thing than
programming for massive multithreading..

Re: The Go Programming Language

The ancient Asian game was referred to as "yi" by Confucius and Mencius. it only spread to Japan and became known as "go" in the second millennium of its existence. The best international players call the game "weiqi" (Chinese) or "baduk" (Korean).

Re: The Go Programming Language

Then there's 'wei chi' and others variants. Lots of western countries use 'go' as a root: jeu de go, the game of go, spiel go, el juego de go and so on. The Japense romanji is 'igo' being the source. The late Taiwanese philanthropist Ing Chang-ki may have had a point in wanting us to spell it 'Goe'. Many of the best international players are Chinese and Korean with just a smattering of western international players that are strong enough to compete with them (who call it go). Ah well...

Thanks, Robert C
See http://www.usgo.org/ for the American Go Association.
