GO – New Programming Language from GOOGLE
Its indeed a really BIG NEWS to the developers, as GOOGLE has announced a release of new, opensourced programming language called GO.
Google says that this new programming language has been incorporated with Performance and Security benefits associated with language like C++ with speed of dynamic language like Python.
This is what Google says about GO:
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."
Want to look at famous Hello World program in GO? Here it is:
package main
import fmt "fmt" // Package implementing formatted I/O.
func main() {
fmt.Printf("Hello, world;\n");
}
