Sorry for a short blogging hiatus, for a month, but I am back trying to catch up and updating you with what’s new or interesting topic about technology. Just earlier today, I received an email alert from a tech e-group I joined. It’s about the new Go Programming Language.
Go Programming Language is an open-source language (no wonder it is supported and promoted by Google.) As far as I can see it, it’s simple and quite similar to C++ and Java.
Why try Go Programming Language?
… fast
Go compilers produce fast code fast. Typical builds take a fraction of a second yet the resulting programs run nearly as quickly as comparable C or C++ code.… safe
Go is type safe and memory safe. Go has pointers but no pointer arithmetic. For random access, use slices, which know their limits.… concurrent
Go promotes writing systems and servers as sets of lightweight communicating processes, called goroutines, with strong support from the language. Run thousands of goroutines if you want—and say good-bye to stack overflows.… fun
Go has fast builds, clean syntax, garbage collection, methods for any type, and run-time reflection. It feels like a dynamic language but has the speed and safety of a static language. It’s a joy to use.… open source
Anyway, I haven’t tried yet to install and explore about it because I am not done yet reading some of it’s documentation but will do soon. Here’s the promotional video:
You can visit www.golang.org for more details, samples, documentation, etc.
