Gonix: Unix From UserspaceA while back, I watched the video where Dennis Ritchie was showing Unix command line. And I though to myself. How hard would it be to replicate the unix pipe in Go? Given the fact I began experimenting 4 years ago, it might be tempting to say yes. It is hard! However, implementing a Unix command and a pipe itself is trivial in Go. All the necessary ingredients are already present in a standard library.
As in certain cults it is possible to kill a process if you know its true name. -- Ken Thompson and Dennis M. Ritchie
