The Go Circuit: Towards Elastic Computation with No Failures
summary
Claims a usable system: a Go-based daemon installs with one-line install: go get, mounts a /circuit filesystem API, and exposes CSP primitives so processes start by writing to a run file, channels become directories with capacity files, select opens multiple files, and send/receive are blocking. It aims for a language-agnostic single-system image, can orchestrate an entire service via Docker, and already runs as networked daemons creating distributed executables from ordinary UNIX binaries.
