Nice project, but it seems like it would need some (financial?) support:

> As of the current release, my focus will shift back to finalizing my dissertation and inherently, my PhD. Since I can no longer rely on university support for Iris, I am actively looking for an official backer who would be interested in taking Iris to the next level and turning it into an industrial strength project. If you are interested, or know of such a person, please contact me at [email protected].

Without wanting to sound too plain/blunt, as much as I like working on Iris and giving it to the community for free, I also need to make a living. Hence why I am looking for a backer, to be able to continue it.

On another note, the project is getting quite large with a lot of different things to work on, but I'm a single person with limited time. So while financial support is nice, I'm also open to possibilities of taking Iris under the umbrella of a corporation which would have the necessary expertise to really expand it.

Just thought I'd be pedantic and point out that all the Go examples on that page aren't "package main", but are defining a main func; they won't compile to a binary.

Yes, the point with the package naming was to convey some additional information (i.e. erlclient, goserver, etc) to keep the snippet size down. I think they are understandable and workable as is, but nontheless you are perfectly right with your concern so I might update them at some point :)
