in reply to What makes Golang appealing for Perl programmers?

Are Perl programmers (as opposed to programmers of other languages) known to have a particular affinity for or interest in Golang? I do have a vague memory of a YAPC talk on Go (which I assume is the same thing as Golang) shortly after Google released it, but that's the only indication of interest within the Perl community that I can recall.

    Hey, thanks for the comment. I just wanted to know opinions from others about the language. What interest me is the Go routines although I never take a look at concurrent or parallel programming. Does IO::Async module provides facility for concurrent programming as Go? I'm just curious, and love to expand my knowledge on those.

      Hello again,

      about parallel programming Perl has his own history: some core modules provide the possibility to work in parallel: see the main tutorial perlthrtut

      Using this core approach is a delicate matter; see here at perlmonks posts by BrowserUk and perhaps zentara using threads to have good quality examples.

      IO::Async is for sure a good quality module, given his authorship and because it is mentioned in Task::Kensho (a florilegium of many good modules).

      Here at perlmonks we also have the honor to have marioroy who dedicated himself to the creation of MCE Multi Core Engine; a suit of modules that helps you in implementing a parallel work correctly. SuperSearch marioroy's posts here for many good examples.
