I have a vague memory of +Rob Pike <r...@golang.org> tweeting something about astronomy or perhaps an observatory a few months ago. Perhaps there was no programming involved but if so I imagine Go is safe bet.
But building pipelines using something like Pachyderm would allow for a very polyglot "use the tool that fits in each part" approach. ons 6 dec. 2017 kl 11:43 skrev Volker Dobler <dr.volker.dob...@gmail.com>: > I know about https://go-hep.org probably Sebastien can elaborate more > if and how it is used at CERN. > > V. > > > On Wednesday, 6 December 2017 10:56:01 UTC+1, Christophe Meessen wrote: >> >> Hello, >> >> I'm a computer scientist in charge of developing an image processing >> pipeline for telescope images. >> It will also have a web server and DB connection. >> >> The project is going through reviews by external experts, and the problem >> I'm facing is that my proposal to use Go is about to be rejected. >> >> The main opposing arguments are >> - everybody uses python in astrophysics >> - it is very easy to find someone who knows python >> - risk that I, sole Go programmer, might become unavailable >> >> I would have the same arguments if I was project leader and unfamiliar >> with Go. >> >> The counter arguments I found so far are that >> - Go is simpler and safer than Python >> - I learned Go in a week-end >> >> The problem is that they don't convince people who don't know Go, are not >> experienced software developers, and don't want to do the due diligence. >> It's the usual inertia to change. >> >> What other arguments could I use ? >> >> Do you know other significant scientific experiments that have adopted Go >> ? >> >> >> >> I have found this github project. >> https://github.com/indigo-astronomy/indigo >> INDI is a well known Python Observatory Control System. >> INDIGO is its translation into Go. >> >> I have also found SciPipe https://github.com/scipipe. >> It is a Go pipeline framework used in scientific applications. >> >> >> -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "golang-nuts" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to golang-nuts+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
