> Oh and might I mention the race detector? Fucking incredible, C never dreamed of something like that.

go race is pretty much a port of Thread Sanitizer, which was a C tool. Before that, there was Helgrind, also a C tool. All of these tools have a long list of forerunners in academia, largely for Java (Eraser, FastTrack, etc.)

go race is Thread Sanitizer, in fact, but see again my point about being part of the community best practice vs. a third-party tool you may or may not have heard of.

Eraser and FastTrack are un-googleable, if you have any links they would be appreciated.
