This is a fair question. Initially I just assumed this was true. Because someone who did research on this topic would not get something like this wrong. And besides that, if you know a little about the project this name could make some sense.
But the more I look into it, the more I think this is just a LLM hallucination.
The doc about the 'assembly' format doesn't give a proper name. It just calls 'go assembler'.
And I think the source of this hallucination was this first paragraph:
> The assembler is based on the input style of the Plan 9 assemblers, which is documented in detail elsewhere. If you plan to write assembly language, you should read that document although much of it is Plan 9-specific. The current document provides a summary of the syntax and the differences with what is explained in that document, and describes the peculiarities that apply when writing assembly code to interact with Go.
Maybe you should actually read something from the official website before spending time writing multiple paragraphs assuming it's fake. Alot of the people involved in golang also were involved in bell lab's plan9 project, going back to the 1980s (Kernighan and Pike especially go back that far). The CSP threads from plan9 were influential in the development of the programming language. And you can find this on their official site:
No, it doesn't have a name. Plan 9 is an operating system, and this style of assembly language syntax originates from the assembler used on this operating system. Its like saying "The GNU Compiler Collection uses its own internal assembly language called Unix."
They aren't Linux, they use the Linux kernel, alongside a Java or JavaScript userspace, not really the same thing, and a reality termux refuses to acknowledge and that it is why it is no longer available on Play Store.
My dear summer child. My degree trained me to build computers from logic, write an operating system, write userspace code and applications (with a side of AI) all before the year 2000.
I don't know where you did your degree or when. But my friend you are objectively wrong.
Termux no longer runs because it no longer allows (possibly using Linux capabilities?) subprocesses from around Android 10. Android 12 if memory serves actually starts killing background processes.
No hacks. Unless your degree says using the POSIX fork()/exec() API as "hacks".
Please don't embarrass yourself further. It was quite painful reading your prior response.
A hack that termux folks now suffer from, because it fails Play Store API validation for forking processes, which sidelining works around, until Google decides to forbid that as well.
Coding since 1980's, and only fools are afraid to be embarrassed.
Hmm the NDK is for userspace, you can remove functions out of the standard libraries, but the Linux syscall API will likely be untouched
Apple does this too for its more locked down devices.
I've been coding since the 80s too. I had assumed from your hubris and ignorance that you were young. My mistake, it's clear that you're merely an idiot.
Enjoy the weekend, happy in the knowledge that I shall no longer be engaging with you.
Is the language actually called that?
