Re: Anything LiveCode Can Learn From GO
Sigh on me for I missed the ‘mobile’ part…also clearly stated. We are out of luck in that area. But, the idea works well for desktop solutions. Data access for mobile use should be pretty fast even if it is processed as a ‘sync’ process. Most mobile apps need to do more modest processing due to all the constraints of the device anyways.

Say you were going to a new card that required a DB query. You could have the card layout code and the query to a local DB running at the same time. Even with LCs message hierarchy multithreading could work. You could fire off a DB query thread and have a message sent to the main thread when complete. Inter thread communication would be key.

Re: Anything LiveCode Can Learn From GO
Multithreading sounds like a good idea until you realize most things that have to happen in Livecode due to the message heirarchy need to be single threaded. It's only when you need to make a server of some sort that multithreading really needs to be implemented.

Re: Anything LiveCode Can Learn From GO
but as i understand it ...changing a single threaded app to multi-threaded
at its core is a huge undertaking aand i'm not sure its even on the drawing
board for v 12 ...but i could be wrongmaybe its coming in v10 :D :D :D

Re: Anything LiveCode Can Learn From GO
i see what you mean. the single threaded aspect of LC is a drag...
i'm actually trying my hand at some kind of workaround for this limitation
for the global conference in september i aim to do some multi-core
processing using LC and measure performance gain over specific workloads
...like searchdb query. and i/o.

Re: Anything LiveCode Can Learn From GO
I wasn't thinking about high language per se. but more from an engine point
of view, specifically use of "Goroutines"
"But, most of the modern programming languages(like Java, Python etc.) are from
the ’90s single threaded environment. Most of those programming languages
supports multi-threading. But the real problem comes with concurrent execution,
threading-locking, race conditions and deadlocks. Those things make it hard to
create a multi-threading application on those languages.

On the other hand, Go was released in 2009 when multi-core processors were
already available. That’s why Go is built with keeping concurrency in mind. Go

How Goroutines work? Reffrance:

Other benefits are :
Goroutines have growable segmented stacks. That means they will use more
memory only when needed.
Goroutines have a faster startup time than threads.
Goroutines come with built-in primitives to communicate safely between
themselves (channels).
Goroutines allow you to avoid having to resort to mutex locking when

Also, goroutines and OS threads do not have 1:1 mapping. A single goroutine
can run on multiple threads. Goroutines are multiplexed into small number of OS
threads.

Re: Anything LiveCode Can Learn From GO
Hi Sannyasin,
I found a quick small snippet of some “Hello World” GO code and have listed it
below.
I much prefer LiveCode syntax over this stuff any day.
Stick with LiveCode, it’s just better!
Just my 2 cents for the day.
Cheers,
Rick
Add a test to the stringutil package by creating the
file$GOPATH/src/github.com/user/stringutil/reverse_test.go containing the
following Go code.
package stringutil
import "testing"
func TestReverse(t *testing.T) {
cases := []struct {
in, want string
}{
{"Hello, world", "dlrow ,olleH"},
{"Hello, 世界", "界世 ,olleH"},
{"", ""},
}
for _, c := range cases {
got := Reverse(c.in)
if got != c.want {
t.Errorf("Reverse(%q) == %q, want %q", c.in, got,
c.want)
}
}
}
Then run the test with go test:
$ go test github.com/user/stringutil
ok github.com/user/stringutil 0.165s
