The problem I have with time.Sleep is that I am totally relying on the "exact" time guarantee a Ticker gives me. What I mean is that with a Ticker I can be sure that if it fires every 50ms, no matter what my code does (, after 10 minutes it ran exactly 12000 times. I don't know how I would do that properly with time.Sleep.
(Before somebody says now that realtime-like things won't work well with go or any garbage collected language: So far it has worked just good enough for my purposes, and I don't need more than a few ms accuracy) Am Dienstag, 30.
