It's actually a reference to the original array, I believe. On May 24, 2015 10:55:31 AM CDT, erik quanstrom wrote: >> Uhm I might be mistaken, but I guess [8192]byte is an array, and >[]byte are >> slices - therefore they are different types. >> > >yes, exactly. i suppose this implies that diff

Re: [9fans] ot: pascal rides again?

I read the Go docs *once*, but I'm pretty sure you're right. I think to make a slice out of an array, you'd do something like the_array[:]. All to say why I don't like Go. :) On May 23, 2015 1:14:55 PM CDT, C Cirello wrote: >Uhm I might be mistaken, but I guess [8192]byte is an array, and []byt

Re: [9fans] ot: pascal rides again?

Uhm I might be mistaken, but I guess [8192]byte is an array, and []byte are slices - therefore they are different types. - CC 2015-05-23 17:53 GMT+02:00 erik quanstrom : > well, at least dennis wrote "why pascal is not my favorite programming > language". > > from go build > > ./

well, at least dennis wrote "why pascal is not my favorite programming language". from go build ./cat.go:36: cannot use data (type [8192]byte) as type []byte in argument to cat what? perhaps i'm missing something about the language, but it sure seems ironic. - erik
