Yay...

Post #317,110 by malraux 11/11/09 9:49:44 AM Reply	Yay... Yet another new language without database drivers, usable frameworks, or a community. :-) Should be interesting to see what happens to it. Regards, -scott Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson.

Post #317,113 by malraux 11/11/09 9:59:58 AM Reply	Re: Why does one need database drivers? You need a programming interface for them. Unless this language can directly use C, C++, Python, or some other library (which it may very well be able to, I didn't look). Regards, -scott Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson.

Post #317,117 by malraux 11/11/09 10:18:22 AM Reply	Re: any language worth scrapdoodle should be able to callout There are two Go compiler implementations, 6g and friends, generically called gc, and gccgo. Gc uses a different calling convention and linker and can therefore only be linked with C programs using the same convention. There is such a C compiler but no C++ compiler. Gccgo is a GCC front-end that can, with care, be linked with GCC-compiled C or C++ programs. However, because Go is garbage-collected it will be unwise to do so, at least naively. There is a Âforeign function interfaceÂ to allow safe calling of C-written libraries from Go code. We expect to use SWIG to extend this capability to C++ libraries. There is no safe way to call Go code from C or C++ yet. Yay, C libraries. Regards, -scott Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson.

No, let me revise that: MySQL's network calling protocol is a little clunky and this shows in the C library. If MySQL wanted to get into the Go bandwagon, they'd write a decent modern API in the language itself that uses the wire protocol. I don't know what Postgres's API is like. Wade.

And the concept of DBI:DBD is greeat for moving between databases unless you tie yourself down on purpose.
Post #317,589 by static 11/20/09 7:53:15 PM Reply	That's a good read. Every database layer has mistakes and it looks like he's trying to avoid as many as he can. I'm impressed. Wade. Q:Is it proper to eat cheeseburgers with your fingers? A:No, the fingers should be eaten separately.
