I’ve been distracted lately: Real Life took over again for a bit, and I’ve been wrangling some more general CLs through as I simultaneously learn the Go team’s processes for working with outsiders and attempt to reduce existing code duplication etc that I’d otherwise have to make worse. (My unpaid project: I work on whatever I want in what order I want. Still, I’d like to have had more time and more progress by now.)
In general, I think the NetBSD port can be pushed past the syscall stuff I got distracted by with a few sessions more work, then it’s into the runtime with a vengance, where I believe the difficult work is hiding: setting up the support for goroutines on NetBSD 5.x’s light weight processes. Whee, another threading implementation to learn, on an unfamiliar (to me) architecture. I suppose learning some x86 assembler won’t hurt me too badly….
