1. Will GO be the next Python at least inside GOOG?
2. What seems to be happening to ndb.models in near future?
3. Will Guido leaving Google affect webapp2 in any way?
- wting 14y agoGoogle has been heavily pushing Go internally for a while now. They have weekly pamphlets that they put up in bathroom stalls to educate employees.
- shawn-butler 14y agoReally? Can you get some pictures of that?
- wting 14y agoI don't work at Google, but toured their Austin office during a hackathon. A friend confirmed that they did as well for their Mountain View campus.

- rachelbythebay 14y agoI took one last month. It's one of the "learning on the loo" variety, mentioned elsewhere. http://rachelbythebay.com/w/2012/11/17/g/ http://rachelbythebay.com/w/2012/11/17/g/
- shawn-butler 14y agoThanks, yeah I knew of that kind of fortune-cookie silliness. Using it to promote awareness or learning the fundamentals of a programming language is something else entirely.
- snogglethorpe 14y ago> They have weekly pamphlets that they put up in bathroom stalls to educate employees There's something slightly creepy about that... oO;
- nostrademons 14y agoYou've never visited a Google restroom before? The practice started with "Testing on the Toilet", which was a way to educate developers about unit-testing best practices. (This was back in 2005 or 2006, when Google very much had a cowboy-coding culture and a lot of products were just thrown over the wall for users to perpetually beta-test.) Then we got "Learning on the Loo", which is general life-hacking tips that started in 2010. I forget the official title of the Go series, but a friend and I were joking that it should be called "Going to the bathroom."
- leif 14y ago"You've never visited a google restroom before?" It may surprise you to learn that most people haven't.
- daniel-cussen 14y ago"Go, Go, Go..."
- andrewflnr 14y agoWhen did that start? I don't remember seeing any this summer when I interned with them.
- wting 14y agoDon't know, I saw them in September.
- andrewflnr 14y agoI left in August. They must have started right after.
- jrockway 14y agoIsn't webapp2 a completely external project?
