in thread What makes Golang appealing for Perl programmers?

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.
