Interesting feedback and unanswered questions
If plugins cannot be closed is there any confliting corner cases?
- It turns out that yes, there can be. I got some "plugin already loaded" and "plugin already initialized" error when loading too plugins that were built with the same name... TODO: investigate more on this (results will be posted here).
plugin: plugin _/usr/src/pluginSrc/brightness already loaded fatal error: plugin: plugin already loaded
When are the plugins coming to Windows?
- One of the promise of Go is that it runs the same of a large variety of OS and processors, plugins should therefore be ported to Windows. I did not found talks about this, if I do, I'll post it here.
