Syncthing is teh worst thing eva and I want a pony RIGHT NOW

[jedie]

You are right, calmh does make a very good job here!

A good occasion to say: Thank you, calmh!!!

I think the problem here is, that everyone would like to have a alternative solution for dropbox, Bittorrent-Sync etc. And IMHO synchting can be. But it is still missing some pieces.

Boring thins for me is, that syncthing is written in Go and not in Python, so i can’t really help mutch, see also:

Syncthing in Python?

Hey calmh, This is just my curiosity before getting deeper into the project: My native approach to start a project like Syncthing would be to prototype it in Python, and then see if something needs to be made faster in another language. So my question is: is there a special reason (modulo speed) that you chose the Golang in the first place? is there something that would be near impossible with Python, like getting over the GIL problem? or is Golang simply what is “your” favorite lang…
