Looking at the GoLang graph : I have to admit that I'm a little surprised to see so much of that interest originating from China (Shenzhen specifically).

- justincormack 13y agoThey seem to be making a concerted effort to make Go Chinese friendly https://code.google.com/p/go-zh/ https://code.google.com/p/go-zh/
- vanderZwan 13y agoThat would imply the initiative came from the Go team, and I can't recall ever seeing anything on go-dev or go-nuts suggesting such. That said, there are quite a lot of Asians on the go-nuts board. What might play part of this is that one of the main contributors to Go is a guy calling himself "minux"; the guy is pretty fucking brilliant. IIRC, minux is French with Chinese roots, and he's one of the owners of the Chinese port. Note that he doesn't actually work for Google, so so far it's all community driven. Similarly, one of the earliest Go-specific IDE's is LitteIDE, written by VisualFC. I suspect it's partially thanks to them that the Chinese community was off to a good start. Well, that and UTF8. Anyway, it's all speculation at this point; it would be nice if someone involved with the Chinese Go community could clear this up though.

- mseepgood 13y agoNot surprising. The code example on golang.org says "Hello, 世界". Every Chinese programmer will immediately love it for this reason.
