Rewrite in Go #11

Closed maradotwebp closed 3 years ago

maradotwebp commented 3 years ago

Pax will be rewritten in Go because of two main reasons:

  1. While Nim is a really good language, its ecosystem of is still relatively small and in-the-works. I've tried three different zip libraries, two of those fail completely, the third doesn't work on Windows. (Or maybe I'm just too dumb?)
  2. Cornstone, written in Go, will eventually be integrated into this project.

Haven't heard a while from the Cornstone guy, and the zip works now because I was previously too dumb. Continuing in Nim for the time being. It's a fun language.
