Comment on Porting dl.google.com from C++ to Go

See also https://github.com/golang/groupcache for the peer-to-peer memcached replacement mentioned in the slides.

I can't wait till it's stable and has a man page!

It's a library meant to be used in your Go application, it's not going to have a man page. It already has API documentation: http://godoc.org/github.com/golang/groupcache

So what do you think section 3 of the manual is for?

UNIX and libc syscalls?

"The table below shows the section numbers of the manual followed by the types of pages they contain.

  1 Executable programs or shell commands
  2 System calls (functions provided by the kernel)
  3 Library calls (functions within program libraries)
  4 Special files (usually found in /dev)
  5 File formats and conventions eg /etc/passwd
  6 Games
  7 Miscellaneous (including macro packages and
    conventions), e.g. man(7), groff(7)
  8 System administration commands (usually only for root)
  9 Kernel routines [Non standard]"

So section 3 is a little wider than that, eg:

    $ apropos apache::xmlrpc
    Apache::XMLRPC::Lite (3pm) - mod_perl-based
       XML-RPC server with minimum configuration
