Greeting people, *TL;DR: The only option is to work with syscall package and build everything ground up, or there are some easier way?*
The story is, I'm working on a network related project (https://github.com/nickrio/coward) which been designed to take a lots of connections. Most of those connections is just idle, but hey can back to active at any time. Currently, that application is implemented in Go's style -- When a new connection is accepted, a new goroutine is created, along with associated buffer and structs. The downside of that is, I have to create a buffer for each goroutine (for each connection), no matter that connection is active or not. And because of that, there will be a lots of memory space been wasted (goroutine also cost few KB of memories). So I'm thinking, if I can somehow re-implement connection handling in epoll-like model, then I could save those idle memory for better memory efficiency. After dug few pages of source code on golang.org, I discover that in order to do so, I have to work with some *low* level system calls (the package name is <goog_1404985334>literally syscall) and runtime package. So before I get started, I want to do the last check to make sure there are no any other way to go (No built-in package or x package will help me to do that. Sorry, I'm new to Golang, if there are a magic hidden inside, I probably wouldn't found it. So better ask to make sure), so I don't waste my time doing it. Thank you!
