Thanks very much. This is all very interesting.

Go linker is amazing. It's the only truly cross platform linker.
Is it possible to use it to create binaries from object files compiled with
C?
For example
main.c:
int main() { puts("Hello"); return 0; }
gcc -c -o main.o main.c
go tool link main.o
main.o: not package main

I know that calling C functions via cgo is relatively expensive because of
the goroutines, so there must be some optimizations/tricks to make all
these libc calls fast.

Indeed, it works with Go 1.12. I have 3 different Go versions, and my
aliasing was messed up. Sorry.

Good to know, thanks. So Linux, BSD, Plan9
Hello,
I read the following from one of the contributors:

I just chec
Thanks, Ian.
I remember reading in some compiler book that languages should be designed
for a single pass to reduce compilation speed.
Go proves that wrong :) It's amazingly fast, looks like computers are
pretty good at traversing AST trees.

Hello,
In Go functions can be used before they are defined, but as I understand,
it's still possible to have a single pass compiler.
Thanks
