I use windows 7, i program my Go server and test it on Windows, when i need to deploy it to Linux, i simply type "*set GOOS=linux *, *go build"* and i am done. Cross compilation is very easy in Go. As a computer user for 14 years and a programmer for 12 years, never in my life i enjoyed the benefits of portable executable. Only the simplest programs are truly portable and you have to install a huge framework to run just a simple tool you needed. They sell it like write for 16f84 and run on windows 10, but it's just marketing. I ported C codes written for android (such as dalvik/libdex) to windows and linux with minimal effort though. So in practice, source code portability is quite enough and Go is very portable. > Creators of golang are researchers, not engineers, they worked too slow. > That's just funny. ** I'm excited about the portable binaries that run in the browser like NaCl and WebAssembly though.* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
