I got a lot of inspiration from looking at your code. thank you

Thanks a lot! I like your style. It would be interesting to watch about vim shortkeys that you use.

[@anthonygg_]

Will make one !

[@elakstein]

@@anthonygg_ I will also love if you could make a vim setup tutorial and all vim plugins you are using. In my company I do ssh to a server and I don't have sudo access and internet is blocked to that server, I can SFTP files from local device to that server if you could help in setting up vim with these constraint then I will be thankful. Maybe I asked too much :)

[@user-nx2od3pt1b]

you are gowsome !!

Please make video about your programming environment setup.

i have a question at 07:15 as i understand, the for loop inside readLoop function will keep reading data from connection by using conn.Read can we put read message process to goroutine? what will be the different between using goroutine and not using goroutine at this situation? thanks,

[@QckSGaming]

Close telnet with ^] or CTRL+]

[@justmeandmy]

"I dont know how to close telnet" It literally hints you how each you make a connection. "Escape character is '^]'." that is "control-]" Then you will get a telnet> prompt ... type "quit"

[@exiit423]

Good example, but there is a major bug in the code: The "buf" slice is being reused, but the buf is not copied before it's sent to the channel (msgch). buf[n:] only creates a new slice pointing to the same address but with a different length. TCP already comes with backpressure so I'm not sure how much use there is for the extra channel. But if you want to use a channel, allocate a new slice (buf) each iteration.

[@anthonygg_]

Yes. That a bug. Good catch.

[@KennethFeur]

Thank you for your comment! I'm new to golang and was wondering why the channel data is being overwritten if I allocate small buffer and send a message longer than the buffer size. All makes sense now.

[@justmeandmy]

Another option is to bring the buf declaration into the for loop so one exists per loop iteration.

[@variel3200]

Hi, I want to thank you by providing this tutorial, It helps me a lot. May I confirm something? Is the reason you put goroutine of readloop() inside acceptloop() is for handling multiple message in the same connection? So lets say you send a request to the server, but the server still can receive another request while processing the first request isn't it?

[@anthonygg_]

Correcr

[@atticus_foust]

Hell yeah watched an ad for you haha

[@anthonygg_]

I hope it was a good one 🎉

[@pouris]

I didn't know GSP had a youtube channel about programming xD

[@wMwPlay]

Quick off-topic question. Is it a good to idea to use TCP for my backend app so I can build native desktop GUI and use it? GUI connects to my go backend app via localhost tcp. Anyway, great video, will use it for my pet-project as an example. Thanks!

[@anthonygg_]

I would use json api for that.

[@tarjaqt]

how did you solve this problem?

[@everest9289]

Same here

[@SuperFishers]

You probably fixed this by now (or moved on to something else!) but this error might be from not calling "go s.acceptLoop()" in Start(). Anthony doesn't get this error but he fixes this a little bit later in the video
