- jotux 13y agoYes, blatant spam is a great way to promote your project.
- MetaCosm 13y agoYes, finally the riches a "not-for-profit, just-for-fun Wiki project" deserve will finally start rolling in! The only thing holding them back now is the amount of spamming they can do.
- sanderjd 13y agosigh I hadn't heard of phdtree, and was interested that they were considering moving from python to go. I totally see your point, but this forum is at its most useful to me when I'm hearing about software projects and the tech they're being built with, and sometimes self-promotion is in service of that.
- jotux 13y agoBy this sentiment would it be acceptable for phdtree to go to every article on hn that mentions golang and post an identical comment with a link to their project? If I have a project written in js should I post a link in articles mentioning js with, "Hey, my project is also using js: www.myproject.com!"?
- sanderjd 13y agoClearly not - have they done that? Javascript is a bad analogy because of its prevalence and entrenchment. Perhaps a better way for me to have put my sentiment would have been, "I'm not tired of this, so I don't mind seeing it", where "this" means both phdtree specifically and hearing about project being written in, moving to, or considering moving to Go in general. Clearly you are tired of it, either from having seen other specific phdtree postings or from having seen more postings about Go in general than you care to. That's fine, but it's not where I'm at.
- _sabe_ 13y agoAnd when Go no longer feels as hip as Django once did, you'll switch again?
- phdtree 13y agoAfter some research we narrowed it down to Scala and Go, and eventually decided to go with Go! Scala has excellent Play! framework, but Go feels more like Python
- jjsz 13y agoHave you found a substitute for the Go equivalent of the Play Framework + MongoDB + ReactiveMongo [0] + precog [1]? [0] http://reactivemongo.org/ http://reactivemongo.org/ [1] http://precog.com/ http://precog.com/
- dodyg 13y agoInteresting. I've never heard of precog does. What does one use precog for in practical terms?
- jjsz 13y agoIt connects D3 and Quirrel to allow easy analytics.
- Daegalus 13y agoFor Play: http://robfig.github.io/revel/ http://robfig.github.io/revel/ For Mongo: Most people use mgo http://labix.org/mgo http://labix.org/mgo For precog: dont know, but there might be something, but probably not.
- jjsz 13y agoThanks, I knew about Revel and mgo. I just forgot to say: a FRP* [0] Go equivalent of Play and that there's nothing like these upcoming Coursera courses [1] [2] for Go with examples.

- akx 13y agoIf I may ask, why? Are you bumping into some significant performance problems, for instance?
