Would you share the document? It likely would save time for others when they have similar tasks. Jon On Wednesday, December 6, 2017 at 4:27:04 PM UTC-8, Christophe Meessen wrote: > > Thank you all for your help. > > I assembled a sort document with the collected arguments (thanks >

You are responsible for all problems related to the project after proposing a language. Caveat emptor. - Go has a backwards compatibility promise. Go didn't change it's APIs and syntax after releasing a 1.0 version of the software. - Go has formatting standards and a powerful standard library -

Thank you all for your help. I assembled a sort document with the collected arguments (thanks Sebastien). It also contains short code samples. Le 06/12/2017 à 16:17, Jesper Louis Andersen a écrit : The best point in time to switch languages are when one of the following things is

Thanks far all the answers. Sebastien Binet is a colleague and he is indeed brilliant. pachyderm looks powerful, but also an overkill for my need. It might scare my colleagues away. Le 06/12/2017 à 12:34, Henrik Johansson a écrit : I have a vague memory of +Rob Pike

I have a vague memory of +Rob Pike 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

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.
