  A short Rob Pike interview on Go.

  A video of Rob Pike's Stanford EE Colloquium talk, Another Go At Language Design, is available online at http://ee380.stanford.edu http://ee380.stanford.edu. Abstract: A while back, it seemed that type-driven object-oriented languages such as C++ and Java had taken over. They still dominate education. Yet the last few years have seen a number of different languages reach prominence, often of very different styles: Python, Ruby, Scala, Erlang, Lua, and many more. Surely there are enough languages. Yet new ones keep appearing. Why? And why now? In this talk I will explain some possible reasons and why they led us to define yet another language, Go.

  How long will it be before we all need to add Go to our resumes in order to look legitimate?
