Google Go, windows version is out

There were only Linux/OSX versions – now someone built it for Windows ( http://code.google.com/p/go-windows/ ).  Go get this file - http://go-windows.googlecode.com/files/go-1.zip

To install, unzip and set the following environment variables:

set GOROOT=[the go folder]
set GOOS=mingw
set GOARCH=386 

and then add GOROOT\bin directory to PATH.

Sample Hello world source. Save below as “hello.go”:

package main
import "fmt"
func main() {
    fmt.Printf("hello, world\n")
}

How to compile:

% 8g hello.go -> produces "hello.8"
% 8l hello.8 -> produces "8.exe"  (or "8.out" in Linux)

Using Clojure in Cygwin

 

Create a shell script as below:

#!/usr/bin/bash 
CLASS_PATH=/java/lib/clojure.jar:/java/lib/jline.jar 
CMD="java -cp `cygpath -wp $CLASS_PATH`" 
SHELL="jline.ConsoleRunner clojure.main" 
SCRIPT="clojure.main" 

if [ "$1" ]; then 
  $CMD $SCRIPT $1 
else 
  $CMD $SHELL
