Golo on the Raspberry

On the Little experiments desk, there are a lot of Little hardware. I must admit I have some favorites among them, but don’t tell them ;) One of them is an Android USB key, MK808B, which allows me to run Android any TV with a HDMI input. Used with a bluetooth PlayStation keyboard, it’s pure fun. Unfortunately, Android devices are running a modified JVM called Dalvik which has one major drawback: it’s based...

Golo - Little 1

I think it’s time to start some Golo experiment. Of course, everyone wanted the mandatory HelloWorld. But hey, that’s a blog called “Little Experiment” ;) (at least it was at the writing time in) Ok, ok, the HelloWorld is available at Golo website, and as a present to my fellow readers, here is a copy here ;) module hello.World function main = |args| { println("Hello world!") } Save this to a helloworld.golo file...
