Google Go - The New Open Source Programming Language
Google Go Programming Language, Google Launches Go
Google has unveiled an innovative open source programming language called Go. Google Go is aimed at making programmers lives more fulfilling, especially for multi-core project systems or perhaps even clustered computers.
Google Go on The Go
Go is based on the C programming family, one of the most widely used programming language in the world. However, the major change that Google has made is that they have incorporated elements of Python and the Pascal/Modula/Oberon family to make faster and more dynamic programs. Google have always liked and used Python.
What Does Google Say
Google says that the language is type safe and memory safe, and it's specifically designed for building software that runs on multi-core machines. Systems and Servers are written as lightweight processes called Goroutines.
Project's Developers
The project's developers include Unix founding father Ken Thompson and fellow Bell Labs Unix developer Rob Pike, Robert Griesemer, known for his work on the Java HotSpot compiler.
Reasons For Launch of Google Go:
They call the language Go because 'Ogle' would be a good name for a Go debugger, the company says in a report. Google Go might have been started for several reasons. The one would be that No Major Programming Language Has Been Lauched In A Decade Time. There are many other speculations about it. But the video below can make all things clear.
