alt Hacker NewsI’m not interested in contributing to go. I tried once, was basically ignored. I have contributed to issues there where it has impacted projects I’ve worked on. But even then, it didn’t feel collaborative; mostly felt like dealing with a tech support team instead of other developers.
That being said, I love studying go and learning how to use it to the best of my ability because I work on sub-ųs networking in go.
When I get home, I’ll dig it up. But if you think it’s a fair scheduler, I invite you to just think about it on a whiteboard for a few minutes. It’s nowhere near fair and should be self-evident from first principles alone.
Here’s a much better write up than I’m willing to do: https://www.cockroachlabs.com/blog/rubbing-control-theory/
There are also multiple issues about this on GitHub.
And an open issue that is basically been ignored. golang/go#51071
Like I said. Go won’t fix this because they’ve optimized for throughput at the expense of everything else, which means higher tail latencies. They’d have to give up throughput for lower latency.
