draft designs for file system interfaces & file embedding

[Russ Cox]

Hi all,

I've posted two draft designs: one introducing general-purpose file system interfaces, with Rob Pike; and one for embedding files into Go programs, with Brad Fitzpatrick. These are draft designs we're circulating for feedback, not official proposals. (We certainly hope they will be well received and can be made into proposals, but that's not where we are today.)

If you are interested, there are docs and videos linked below. Because it worked well for the //go:build draft design, we're using Reddit again for the discussion, also linked below. Reddit's proper threading support scales better than GitHub or a single large mail thread. But for those who don't want to use Reddit, I will keep an eye on this thread as well and reply as best I can.

I would like to test it. How to install the go 1.16 tip version?

 For the moment. The tip is constantly updated for development and bug fixes.

To test leading-edge features, update the tip regularly. For example, I perform a git pull and make.bash every day.

I made it work with status web site in the folder "www":

---

package main

import (

"embed"

"log"

"net/http"

)

//go:embed www

var src embed.FS

func main() {

// http://localhost:8080/www/

filehandler := http.FileServer(http.FS(src))

http.Handle("/", http.StripPrefix("/", filehandler))

// Run the web server.

log.Fatal(http.ListenAndServe(":8080", nil))

}

---

If use this link: http://localhost:8080/www/

the index.html inside is used to render the web site just fine.

When I make the request http://localhost:8080 I see the folder www

and have to click on it. I should not see the folder in that case.
