Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
gomemcached
This is a memcached binary protocol toolkit in go.
It provides client and server functionality as well as a little sample server showing how I might make a server if I valued purity over performance.
Server Design
The basic design can be seen in gocache. A storage
server is run as a goroutine that receives a MCRequest on
a channel, and then issues an MCResponse to a channel contained
within the request.
Each connection is a separate goroutine, of course, and is responsible
for all IO for that connection until the connection drops or the
dataServer decides it's stupid and sends a fatal response back over
the channel.
There is currently no work at all in making the thing perform (there are specific areas I know need work). This is just my attempt to learn the language somewhat.
