“GO” is the name of the new open source object oriented programming language released by Google. It is still in the experimental stages, but being open source will allow it to be tested and improved by the masses. “GO” is aimed as being a mix of the benefits of dynamic languages like JavaScript and python with the benefits of more traditional programming languages as C and C++.
“GO” is designed to take advantage of new computer technology, such as multi-core machines. Many functions are more automatic, such as garbage collection and memory management. The programs are said to run in about the same time as C/C++ programs, but compile at much faster rates.
Time will tell if “GO” catches on to the mainstream environments. Almost everything Google does is pretty popular, so it might. Google is not using “GO” for their own development yet, but once they do I guess we will all have to learn it to use their applications.
