* GOOS=linux GOARCH=arm ./make.bash #you get the picture
GOOS can be windows, darwin, freebsd, netbsd, plan9.
Then when you want to cross-compile your app, you do:
GOOS=linux GOARCH=arm go build myApp.go
That's it. Now you have a statically linked binary that you can drop on whatever your target is. As someone who has had to cross-compile a lot of C and C++ code, I find this simplicity to be a huge win.
"If you’re using JSON and your JSON is a mix of types, goooooood luck. You’ll have to create a custom struct that matches the format of your JSON blob, and then Unmarshall the raw json into an instance of your custom struct. Much more work than just obj = json.loads(json_blob) like we’re used to in Python land."
Could just load it into a map[string]interface{} and then just make sure he does type assertion on the value before using it.
"..about the goods of laissez-faire capitalistic systems" Im pretty certain any government agency wanting to self preserve would NOT want laissez-faire.
A couple of things after having played around with it on my iphone 5 for a while.
1. It "feels" slower, might be because it's not 100% optimized yet, but what I suspect is causing this feeling is the new animiations. Everything just feels sluggish, kind of like using an android feels to me.
2. It appears harder to locate things in apps.
3. The paralax animiations arent all that obvious and doesnt add as much depth as I initially thought it would.
4. Some of the app redesigns are really nice (address book for instance).
5. The thin font is really hard to see sometimes.
6. The new design of the notification view is really nice.
