Hi Martin, Yeah it was actually time to talk more about Pike and let other programmers to know about it. I will publish more if I have time and will talk mostly about what we do and what I personally experienced as much as I can. So please stay tuned! :)
If you intend to publish anything in journals like Dr. Dobbs (Dr. Dobbs is actually one of the highest credited computer journals from 70s) first you need to contact the editor and let him know about your idea and preferably send a short draft of your paper. If he thinks that your idea can be a good contribution for the journal, then he will let you know and possibly send you suggestions and guidelines. It is always a good idea to avoid talking about a commercial product in detail which is known as sales pitch and also have a contact with authorized people before talking about a subject that can be confidential. If you already have an idea, so go ahead and contact Dr. Dobbs editor. His name is Andrew Binstock and his email address is [email protected]. He is a very nice guy!
