Google's Go: A New Programming Language.
Big news for developers out there: Google has just announced the release of a new, open sourced programming language called Go. The company says that Go is experimental, and that it combines the performance and security benefits associated with using a compiled language like C++ with the speed of a dynamic language like Python.
Here’s how Google describes Go in its blog post:
Go attempts to combine the development speed of working in a dynamic language like Python with the performance and safety of a compiled language like C or C++. In our experiments with Go to date, typical builds feel instantaneous; even large binaries compile in just a few seconds. And the compiled code runs close to the speed of C. Go is designed to let you move fast.
We’re hoping Go turns out to be a great language for systems programming with support for multi-processing and a fresh and lightweight take on object-oriented design, with some cool features like true closures and reflection.

Looks like a crappy language to me. An imitation of C++ with just slightly different syntax.

i agree, if there going to come out with another language they should do something that hasn't already been done instead of something that's just a remake of a previous language with a couple of "cool" features.

It looks like it may be a decent language for beginners to start with and then progress into C++, but as for being a solid language I am not sure.

Huh, wierd that this is the first place on the internet I heard about it, considering I have like 5000million RSS feeds. Must not be that great then, or got ignored over the whole chrome browser and chrome OS deal going on.
