What Hacker News says
4 sourcesIt looks like at this time Spawn doesn't support the closures yet.
http://www.gocircuit.org/lang.html#worker-functions:
"The need for boilerplate will be removed in an upcoming Circuit Compiler"
From https://github.com/tumblr/gocircuit/blob/master/src/circuit/...:
"The worker function fn, whose type must have previously been registered with RegisterFunc"
And it looks like only function type id is communicated to worker:

In Go Circuit – Distributed Go Programming FrameworkCan someone explain how `Spawn` ships the closure for execution to a remote host? I'm quite curious to know. I had a grep through the source, but I only found one [1] implementation of `Spawn` accepting a function as a parameter in the code base. This hides the true implementation, which I'm struggling to find. Any hints?
