Google…..GO…big news for developers!

If you love Google and are developing in C++ or Python; the latest development from Google is proberly going to be of great interest. So what is Go? well, it’s an open source language it’s live right now and it’s in a completely experimental stage.

Go will provide the security and performance of a compilled language like C++ while having the speed of a dynamic language like Python.

Go - The latest Google open source language

Who is Go aimed at?

Google describes GO as ” Go is an experiment. We hope adventurous users will give it a try and see if they enjoy it. Not every programmer will, but we hope enough will find satisfaction in the approach it offers to justify further development” You can find more information about GO at Golang.org which is the official site for the open source language.”

Google is using this language internally so this is a good testament. But, what will external users think of it?

Google describes Go in thier recent blog

“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.”
