> But i will look into using a routine and buffers... I understand your comment, but I still think it is a good idea. First, because it is more idiomatic go (as far as I see it right now :)) and secondly goroutines and channels are essential building blocks that somehow set the language apart - you'll find them really interesting I think.

Sofar not using a pointer has not been a performance bottleneck in go code for me. And not using a pointer signifies to the programmer that the method will not change the receiver - which is nice documentation. So only use a pointer receiver when you need to (i.e. when you need to modify the receiver) or when you measured that it impacts performance by benchmarking. -- https://code.launchpad.net/~widelands-dev/widelands-metaserver/ircbridge/+merge/203277 Your team Widelands Developers is subscribed to branch lp:widelands-metaserver. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~widelands-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~widelands-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
