I'm going to change the title of this and Feature it, should provide some good conversation.

I must say, it looks interesting. I looks more like Python or Ruby meet a compiler. The typing seems tighter than the ubiquitous duck typing. There's a strong leaning toward multi processing and thread safety. I was very surprised it's only offered on Linux and OS X. Looks like the non windows side of google took a run at this. If they wrote Chrome in the thing or had support in Android, that would be really something.

I installed it and plan to play around with it maybe this weekend. Some things that I find disappointing just from doing a little reading: - No shared libraries. - No ternary operator. - Only really works on Linux. Things I do like: - The "standard" library seems pretty broad, while not being too big. - ":=" for assignment like Pascal. Looking forward to some OpenGL bindings eventually.

I did have the priviledge of submitting a bug report (#28, if anyone cares...) already. :-) But I think it looks very interesting, and look forward to playing with it and seeing how it grows. Espeicially some Android support, since I now own a myTouch 3g. (Which I'm posting this from) :-P

Likes like some other guy made Go! a couple of years ago. http://www.informationweek.com/news/softwa...cleID=221601351 I wouldn't be too put out if they did change the name. If anyone, Google should understand what a pain in the ass it is to search for something that's also an English verb. And a board game. I mean, really guys: http://www.google.com/search?q=go+examples

The developers of the GO language have implemented it to some degree... check out this quote from an article: "As a demonstration of the language, the developers have used it to build the Web server software that powers the project's official website. Aside from that, Go isn't used in production anywhere at Google yet. It's going to take time before it's ready for more expansive use, but Google hopes that it will eventually provide a good alternative to the C++ the company uses extensively."

It seems like a modified (C++ + Java + Python) +/- some features. looks good for RAD stuff though. This post has been edited by carltech: 14 Nov, 2009 - 11:28 AM
