I read the Go docs *once*, but I'm pretty sure you're right.

I think to make a slice out of an array, you'd do something like the_array[:].

All to say why I don't like Go. :)

Uhm I might be mistaken, but I guess [8192]byte is an array, and []byte are slices - therefore they are different types.

well, at least dennis wrote "why pascal is not my favorite programming language".

from go build

        ./cat.go:36: cannot use data (type [8192]byte) as type []byte in argument to cat
