@rolfl So how does Go perform in production?

rolfl

When we get there, I'll tell you ;-)

I am pretty sure that, compared to Java, some things will be better, other things worse.

skiwi

Don't you have any opinion on Go yet? :)

rolfl

I am impressed by the go-routine mechanisms - they allow really fast context switching - concurrency in Go has some significant advantages.

Also, the single-executable build-target is "really nice".

I worry about some of the maintainability aspects though. It's still so immature in things like the build tools, validation systems, etc.

skiwi

Sounds like IBM will be providing those? ;) Does IBM actually sponsor Go as well?

rolfl

Also, it's not great for "hybrid" open/closed source development for enterprise-grade systems.

We have had a half-dozen instances now where our core code is failing to compile because third-party libraries from github have changed their code.

It's hard to get "specific" versions or "releases" of those code dependencies, and maintain them too.

In Java, JavaScript, etc. for example, the Maven/npm systems make specific versions of the dependency easy to get. In Go, you're SOL.

You have to copy the third-party code locally, then maintain it outside of the source repo.

skiwi

5:12 PM

@rolfl That sounds pretty disappointing, I know Rust's build system, Cargo, offers a similar option but you can link to revisions or tags there

Or gamble your luck and link them to master directly

What made you consider Go? The light-weight threading?

rolfl

Effectively, the go process is to track master.

I did not make the go decision, I was against it, actually.

It has had a number of advantages, and some disadvantages too.

Culturally, the biggest advantage is that essentially none of us knew Go to start with, so previous language experience was not part of the new team's pecking-order ;-)

The technical advantages are that it's easy to deploy once compiled, and that it has some good network-level infrastructure. The channel/go-routine/stack advantages are clear too.

We are spending a lot of time re-building infrastructure (both runtime, and tooling) that exists in other languages already, though.

skiwi

Right, but doesn't say Java offer a lot of advantages too if you are willing to write custom tooling anyway?

rolfl

Java likely has the tooling already - no need to write custom tooling....

The Java performance will be adequate.... but Java deploys are more complicated than go.

skiwi

I mean if Go has some clear advantages with this channel/go-routine/stack thing, then (depending on how much money was thrown at it) you could've written that yourself too

throck95

But now you also have to factor cost into the picture. Oracle is really starting to piss people off with their new implementations

rolfl

5:16 PM

Performance is our least concern, for what it's worth..... we try write good code, but if it gets the job done, the performance can come later. We are not constrained on compute resources.

The channel/go-routine/stack is not possible to implement in Java ;-)

Essentially Go ignores the OS scheduler for threads, and runs it's own internal "routine" manager.

These "routines" make "lightweight threads" look positively obese.

Q: Log collisions in generating unique random strings

I've created a small class to generate unique random strings. It works fine. I also want to log the collisions of the generated strings. I check if the generated string is in the array for uniquness: public static function add(&$array = [], $length = 1) { $hash = self::rand_str($length); ...

skiwi

@rolfl The "If it uses too much RAM, buy more RAM" solution?

Using its own scheduler is interesting definitely

rolfl

Essentially. ..... we have millions of CPU's to use, and 10's of millions of GB's of memory.

throck95

can you share some with me for my new computer? lol

rolfl

Each machine is like 56-core, 512GB, and we run VM's on those... and we currently have hundreds, but will have close to millions at production time.

skiwi

5:19 PM

@throck95 That's not how cloud computing works... :p

throck95

@skiwi one can dream

skiwi

@rolfl That's some really cool hardware

Out of interest, DDR3, DDR4 or even some other type of RAM, I'm trying to imagine what it looks like... possibly multiple processors, or even multiple motherboards in some way?

rolfl

@skiwi - by maintaining their own scheduler they have also made stack frames dynamically sizable, so a method that takes no arguments, etc. can have a tiny stack fram when you call a different function.....

throck95

@skiwi Look wise or how it works?

rolfl

so, because the stacks are tiny (like 10's of bytes), and each go routine has a simple stack, you can have millions of go-routines running in a gig of memory...... and no real performance impact.

Also, recursion can "go really deep".

throck95

5:22 PM

badum tish

skiwi

Does the OS scheduler always agree? Like, can you just tell it to back off and let Go handle everything?

rolfl

As a test, I put a 1Gig, 1-core system up with a single go-routine dedicated to each network socket, then got 750,000 network clients to send/recieve 1KB each second....

It topped out at the network performance limit (10GBit network).

CPU was sitting at 15% or something.

About the OS scheduler, the Go runtime allocates 1 OS thread per virtual CPU you have (i.e. a 4-core HT system will have 8 threads running only).

throck95

guess the next step is to make a more effective network solution lol

skiwi

That's very impressive, looks like virtually impossible to achieve in Java

Dan Pantry

@rolfl I thought go get was decent enough?

rolfl

5:25 PM

Then, the go-process will set up an event-like and sometimes time-sliced management inside that thtread to manage each of the go-routines that are active/runnable.

it has significant concurrency advantages because you are essentially always thread-safe inside a single thread (which is often the whole program).

It gets a little complicated if there's an OS call to a blocking routine (typically IO), then go does spawn a new thread and migrates the blocked thread's other go-routines to the new thread.

@DanPantry - go get is great as long as the code that you go got last time is the same as the code that you go get now.

If the go-gotten code has changes, though, and those changes introduce bugs, or compile-time failures, you're screwed.

You can't go get a specific version/commit of the code.... and, if you did, you can't easily "maintain" the version you got.

There is "vendoring" support, but it is complicated for other reasons.

(vendoring copies the code to your local repository, and now you have to manage the code yourself - essentially a "fork" - which removes much of the advantage of go-get.

skiwi

Is there a status on getting a go get fix?

Duga

This should probably be posted on code review instead. — Julien Bernu just now

rolfl

Not that I know of - it's sort of "go culture" that after you've compiled OK, you move on ;-) Changes to your, or your dependent's source code is OK after that.

Duga

If this is working code that you think could be improved, see Code Review. If not, please see How to Ask and clarify the issue. — jonrsharpe 20 secs ago

skiwi

That's rather odd

rolfl

5:32 PM

You'd think it worked better, but it does not (if I am wrong, please tell me ;-) ) I have been struggling with these problems for a while.

go get also sucks at getting code from privately secured sites - Single-Signon for enterprises is common, but go-get can't cope, often.

janos

@rolfl I was just about to ask, one of these days, if you're just gonna let me sail past ya or what

rolfl

So, we had to re-implement the same functionality to get things done in our own systems

@janos - I suspect you'll pass me without much effort ;-)

But, to spite you, I should keep you at bay for a stretch when you're about 1K less tham me.... ;-)

skiwi

Quick, everyone upvote @rolfl!

janos

@rolfl I honestly don't want to...

rolfl

I removed my subscriptions to all but the "go" tag. I turned off e-mail notifications for inbox items, etc.

So, I routinely check the site a couple of times a day, hit the review queue, and look for inbox notifications.... and if it's quiet, I move on

(I am still miffed that I lost out on my consecutive days....).

janos

5:36 PM

I noticed conversations about your new routine

rolfl

I will likely pick up again at some point, but not there yet.

janos

@janos - out of interest, has there been any further discussion on completing the merge of performance and optimization codereview.stackexchange.com/tags/performance/synonyms ?

janos

nada

rolfl

janos

re-reading now

rolfl

Right now it's impossible to tag a question with optimization, so what's the point?

throck95

According to @rolfl, hardware is never a problem! ;D

Vogel612

@Mat'sMug that's not "bad" code... it's a tradeoff

janos

@SimonForsberg what will be the benefit of that? I have a hard time understanding this

Simon Forsberg

6:07 PM

@janos Optimization and Performance is not the same thing IMO. Performance is a subgroup of Optimization.

There's plenty of other things you can optimize besides performance.

janos

I agree with that part

Simon Forsberg

I'd much rather burn the optimization tag completely, as it is too broad

Mat's Mug

^

janos

if we de-synonymize, will that mean that it becomes possible again to tag posts with optimization ? (which is something we don't want)

Simon Forsberg

@janos Then we de-synonyimzie (gotta learn to spell that) and go through the existing optimization questions and re-tag as appropriate?

janos

6:10 PM

wouldn't it be better to re-tag first? so that we don't get new incoming ones while doing it

Simon Forsberg

re-tag what to what?

syb0rg

So I should re-tag my questions that have the optimization tag?

Simon Forsberg

Should be easy to detect the incomine ones though

janos

re-tag existing optimization questions to something better (or remove the tag)

Simon Forsberg

@syb0rg Yes please.

syb0rg

6:11 PM

In progress

janos

sounds like a mission

Simon Forsberg

When there are no optimization questions left, then we could blacklist it maybe?

Mat's Mug

can't it be blacklisted now already?

FWIW IMO performance is just as meta as security or the late readability

syb0rg

Just a note, performing a search on optimization questions is difficult since it redirects to performance

Mat's Mug

hence the need to de-synonymize it

rolfl

6:35 PM

Note that "Merging" does the exact same thing as "Synonym" except it also rewrites the old question's tags without "activity" on the old things.

The end result is similar to what we have now - that new questins all go in as "performance", and there's a synonym from "optimization" to "performance".

The benefit is that the histpry is clearer, and (for me, personally), people get credit toward "performance" tag for all the work they did in "optimization".

(i.e. I will likely get a gold performance tag after the merge)

If you want to see what posts are affected, there's an SEDE query that I wrote for it....
