Uhhrrr•3mo ago
Hey, they cut him off before he could tell what they did after calculating a Hamiltonian as a Go constant!
NooneAtAll3•3mo ago
go as in golang?
kragen•3mo ago
Presumably, since that's one of the main things he's been working on in recent decades. The third paragraph of the linked article mentions this.
pjmlp•3mo ago
Yes, the language is called Go, not Golang.

Originally designed by Robert Griesemer, Rob Pike and Ken Thompson.

Uhhrrr•3mo ago
Yes, he was starting to talk about it at the end of the interview.
GeekyBear•3mo ago
The long form interview series by the Computer History Museum are excellent resources.
Aloha•3mo ago
That was just an incredible read.
