Go Google’s New Open Source Programming Language: But No Go for window users

via Go Home Page

So finally google did it. Google has come up with a new programming language called Go. As off now Go compilers are available only for two operating systems (Linux, Mac OS X).

Go’s home page suggests, its simple, fast, safe, concurrent, fun and opensource. Lets see how much this new language can do, when .Net has a big market share along with C and C++. Google open source blog post says:

Here at Google, we believe programming should be fast, productive, and most importantly, fun. That’s why we’re excited to open source an experimental new language called Go. Go combines the development speed of working in a dynamic language like Python with the performance and safety of a compiled language like C or C++. 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 lets you move fast.

Here is some useful links related to go:

Here we have simple Hello World Program in Go….

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
  fmt.Printf("Hello, World\n")
}

So best of luck with Gooooooooooooo………. 🙂

Lets hope somebody will come up with a window compiler for Go soon.
