Lightning Talk: Go-ing Native: Supercharging Windows Support In Go
summary
Windows support in Go now fixes long-standing slow paths and adds real Windows primitives: timer resolution moves from roughly 60 ms granularity to about 0.5 ms so Sleep loops behave correctly, user.Current goes from one–two minutes to ~10 ms, and support for overlapped I/O lands in the os/net layers so files and named pipes can use synchronous nonblocking IO (previously only sockets). Missing net-to-file conversions and a proposed os.Open overlap flag are also implemented and tested on Windows Nano Server.
