The Go programming language
3b860269ee
This looks like it is just moving some code from time to runtime (and translating it to C), but the runtime can do a better job managing the goroutines, and it needs this functionality for its own maintenance (for example, for the garbage collector to hand back unused memory to the OS on a time delay). Might as well have just one copy of the timer logic, and runtime can't depend on time, so vice versa. It also unifies Sleep, NewTicker, and NewTimer behind one mechanism, so that there are no claims that one is more efficient than another. (For example, today people recommend using time.After instead of time.Sleep to avoid blocking an OS thread.) Fixes #1644. Fixes #1731. Fixes #2190.

This is the source code repository for the Go programming language. For documentation about how to install and use Go, visit http://golang.org/ or load doc/install.html in your web browser. After installing Go, you can view a nicely formatted doc/install.html by running godoc --http=:6060 and then visiting http://localhost:6060/doc/install.html. Unless otherwise noted, the Go source files are distributed under the BSD-style license found in the LICENSE file. -- Binary Distribution Notes If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this README). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path. For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile: export GOROOT=$HOME/go export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin See doc/install.html for more details.
