Gorstian

In the geologic timescale, the Gorstian is the age of the Ludlow epoch of the Silurian period of the Paleozoic era of the Phanerozoic eon that is comprehended between 427.4 ± 0.5 Ma and 425.6 ± 0.9 Ma (million years ago), approximately. The Gorstian age succeeds the Homerian age and precedes the Ludfordian age.[3] The age is named after Gorsty village southwest of Ludlow. The base of the age is marked by Graptolites tumescens and Graptolites incipiens. The type section is located in a quarry in the Elton Formation at Pitch Coppice, Shropshire, United Kingdom.[4]

Balizoma 440.8 million years ago to Pridoli epoch Dudley, England The genus has only been found in rocks of Silurian age.
gollark: As you can see, it has to explicitly manage a "waitgroup" for synchronization and whatnot.
gollark: ```go log.Println("Fetching feeds...") var feeds []*rss.Feed var wg sync.WaitGroup for _, source := range sources { wg.Add(1) src := source go func() { defer wg.Done() feed, err := rss.Fetch(src.String()) if err != nil { log.Printf("Error fetching %s: %s", src.String(), err.Error()) return } feeds = append(feeds, feed) log.Printf("Fetched %s", feed.Title) }() } wg.Wait()```So here is something which is meant to fetch a bunch of RSS feeds in parallel.
gollark: Somewhat? There doesn't seem to be a better way to do it.
gollark: Hold on, I worked on a tiny bit of Go code, I'll dredge some up as a sample.
gollark: It does not avoid those. You just reimplement them oddly.
