A Go-idiomatic solution would usually abstract this away by means of using goroutines[0]. Also, you code seems to be missing part of the usual socket interface. Calling net.Listen creates a Listener from which you can draw connections through the means of Accept(). You want the file descriptors of accepted sockets in your case I think. In Go, an acceptor pool would usually spawn of goroutines which will then accept on the socket and do concurrent work. Note that there are many considerations in building a robust acceptor pool in general (and I would wager several exist of varying levels of stability). [0] On Mac and BSD, the interface is usually kqueue/kevent. On Linux a completely different epoll() interface exist (which is a slightly bonkers API IMO), and on Illumos you have event ports filling in the same problem space. Interestingly, systems such as Node.js is just a wrapper on top of these eventing systems, to which you've frankensteined in a Javascript JIT on the side. There are many limitations to such a system with regard to system stability and latency. Especially as projects grow large. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
