Clearly just using DVCS repositories is a versioning problem, though the Go system does not automatically update clones so you are in total control of updating. Recognizing the problem of API versions versus repository versions, Gustavo Niemeyer created the repository gopkg.in with a full version naming system allowing people to version by API number.

That boat has already sailed, Go is firmly established in many major networking and Web organizations even without a formal versioning system. They didn't bother waiting for perfection, they got on, did, and coped. I believe from anecdotal evidence just in and around London, Go is now firmly established, shouldering out C completely, being used in areas where otherwise a combination of C, C++ and Python might have been used. Yet Python use has not really been affected. > The approach taken by Dub is much better. I think Dub is very analogous to Gustavo Niemeyer's gopkg.in. I suggest that Dub needs to be able to build Fortran, C and C++ systems (replacing or integrating the wonderful SCons) as well as D, with or without bits of Fortran, C and C++, allowing C and C++ folk to slowly introduce bits of D into their systems. I would use this, especially if it could be used in Emacs, Eclipse and IntelliJ IDEA. But maybe it already has these facilities, I haven't been able to do any C++ or D work for three or four months now. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.win...@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: rus...@winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
