Golo news roundup #1
Golo is less than a week old, but some crazy folks already did lots of funny things it seems!
This first news roundup is inspired by the blog post (in French) from our most enthusiastic developer advocate who doesn’t seem to be sleeping at night: Philippe Charriere.
-
Golo creator Julien Ponge posted a note with some details behind the development of Golo. This should be interesting if you wonder why yet another language on the JVM emerged last week.
-
Romain Lespinasse and Philippe Charrière have some help for Mac OS X users. Romain wrote Homebrew formulas for both Golo and a helper script that Philippe wrote. Full support for Golo in Homebrew will have to wait until we have stable releases, but you can meanwhile install it from Romain’s Homebrew fork.
-
Thierry Chantier, another Golo Knight, played with an HTTP server written in Golo.
-
Philippe Charriere is having fun developing a web framework in Golo called
fastforward. While he clearly does this for his own educational purposes, it is quite fun to watch how he cleverly gets around the language design. -
Thierry Chantier wrote a batch of introduction articles to Golo. Those are short and clear articles, and hopefuly Thierry will post more of these!
-
Philippe Charriere also wrote a batch of introduction articles, this time in French: 1, 2, 3 and 4. While Philippe shall use
letrather thanvarmore often, it gives French readers a good overview of the language, and Philippe’s energy and style are hard to beat. -
Philippe Charriere launched a community web site that references nano frameworks, samples and experiments with Golo. It’s hosted on GitHub, and you just have to make pull requests to point to your projects. Good news: Gists are more than welcome! It also features the excellent testing DSL that David Gageot made (David, fancy a complete contribution?).
-
Build master and continuous delivery wizard Henri Gomez is pushing native RPM packages to BinTray. Thanks Henri!
-
Romain Lespinasse proposed the inclusion of Golo in GitHub, but the staff understandabily prefers waiting for the language to become more popular. Meanwhile we can note the “Language looks cool.” sentence :-)
That’s all and already much folks!
We will do our best to regularly push news roundups from the community. Because you are the community, feel-free to let us know what you did! (via twitter, email, issues, whatever)
