This is a complete rewrite of ns2-skill in Go, originally written in Python. This is the production version at NS2SUD.

Without accounting for database latency and query execution time, running in AWS EC2 t2.micro instance, an 8v8 shuffle with ~12k combinations:

• Python: anywhere between 1 and 10 seconds.
• Go: 70ms in the worst case, usually <10 ms.

go build ns2-skill-go yourself, or just run the provided binaries for Windows or Linux. You will need to set the following environment variables before:

MYSQL_HOST = "example.com:3306"
MYSQL_USER = "user"
MYSQL_PASS = "pass"
MYSQL_DB = "database"

Minimal Docker image is available at tikz/ns2-skill-go
