Thank you. This makes sense.

Re: Pointer internals reinvented: Go

Nope. A go pointer to a primitive type would always contain 2 things: (1) actual memory address of the primitive (2) a pointer to the vtable of the primitive type. Put it another way, a pointer to primitive is no different from a pointer to a struct.

Apologies for the same. Will have the edits.

May be I'm missing something, but how does use of two pointers instead of one eliminate the need for boxed variants? The fundamental issue of whether to treat the next 4/8 bytes as a value or as a pointer to memory still remains, doesn't it?

I hate to say this, but trailing proof-reading as-you-write might have helped quite a bit. I could not even understand a few lines because of typos or other randomness in the writing. Case in point: "the concept there was fairly simply; the only the a pointer was expected to". WTF :-)

Otherwise, interesting. I am starting Go this year as well. Not close to production level, but at least Project Euler.

I use PyCharm IDE for Python, and I'm finding it hard to let go of it and go to Emacs; PyCharm does a lot of the IDE things that is expected for static typing languages.

Nice.

The "throw more hardware" issue is slowly becoming less of a problem as server farms are finally being called expensive (imagine that) and need to get lean.
Also, it seems we are reaching a sort of inflection point between "enough hardware" and "too much information still waiting to be processed".

Case in point, Facebook's recent launch of HipHop for PHP that allwas for faster and nimbler code.

Of course, it does not solve the basic problem of bloatware that you described, but I'm hoping it is a start.

Like everything else, this problem and it's solution seem cyclical
