go eff yerself: reimplementation of the *nix user space in go

Primary LanguageGo

Goblin, the reimplementation of unix userspace in the Go programming language (Golang)

The reason i started working on this is that I needed a few of the unix tools, preferrably in a fashion that's usable from go aswell, so I took uriel's idea and started it off.

Current problems:

  • wc doesn't count as many characters as the GNU (or plan9) wc in binary files for now, i'm not sure why, maybe because I use ReadRune instead of ReadByte
  • cat is way slow, probably because it uses channels to communicate
