Go a systems programming language
Google finally launches its programming language!
Thing is.. Go sounds sexy.. finally a new systems programming language, with all those higher level language that were being developed all these years, i was beginning to get parano about the existence of systems language anymore… the thing is… with Go, you can get a mixture of C/C++, python and pascal. Yes.. fast fast fast it should be. woohoo no vms!!! Am thrilled!
Go is …
… simple
package main import "fmt" func main() { fmt.Printf("Hello, 世界\n") }… fast
Go compilers produce fast code fast. Typical builds take a fraction of a second yet the resulting programs run nearly as quickly as comparable C or C++ code.
… safe
Go is type safe and memory safe. Go has pointers but no pointer arithmetic. For random access, use slices, which know their limits.
… concurrent
Go promotes writing systems and servers as sets of lightweight communicating processes, called goroutines, with strong support from the language. Run thousands of goroutines if you want—and say good-bye to stack overflows.
… fun
Go has fast builds, clean syntax, garbage collection, methods for any type, and run-time reflection. It feels like a dynamic language but has the speed and safety of a static language. It’s a joy to use.
… open source
Et franc tou mo p al essaie sa!
It sounds fun, and hell.. if it got pointers, then its worth learning! =)
