That's the plan, after the compiler is converted to Go and there's an internal SSA form, etc. Also, gccgo is a very good optimizing compiler but is held back by lack of escape analysis, which I mentioned is being worked on.

Rob and Nigel are working on one, yes.

I optimized the Go JSON serialization in Go 1.2. See https://code.google.com/p/go/source/detail?r=5a51d54e34bb ... it went from 30% to 500% faster. It uses much less stack space now, so the hot stack splits

Why are you allocating in your standard implementation's Check function? That can't be good for performance.

I find IRC to be distracting and more often than not a waste of time. I gave up IRC 10+ years ago and and am much happier. If people want to communicate, there are plenty of other options, both real-time and not.

Just sending "true" as a signal is a convention, but some people prefer something like http://play.golang.org/p/oXapo7R4RX

Go doesn't scan big []byte/strings, so the GC isn't a problem.

And then I rewrote it in C++ for App Engine and other users within Google (Blogger, Plus, hundreds others). I also then ported the C++ memcached (called memcacheg) to Go, for profiling Go vs C++, and named that one memcachego. So I've

This answer sums up my feelings best: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7479276/what-is-the-main-... It's good for C#, but still a language wart that could be built-in. I like that Go only has one set of AP

It wasn't a dig on nodejs. It was a dig at event-based programming, on which I've wasted years of my life in many languages. Node.js isn't unique in that regard. As I mentioned in my talk, that code looks like fine Node.js

Sorry, wasn't my intention. But it's only 4 more lines. In my defense, I only showed three pages of C++, and not all of it, which would've been longer than the whole presentation. So I cut less from the Go snippets than the C

Parts of both. Some of the logic is ported from C++ to Go almost line-for-line. Some of the architectural parts are completely redone. But it has the same binary name and flags and RPC interface

I think you're doing something wrong. Are you using the Go App Engine SDK? Then you just run dev_appserver.py $DIR and it runs.

It's mostly C++ for indexing and lookup, but "Search" is a big topic, and there are Go, Java, and Python parts in the many systems that make Google's web search work. Go is growing in popularity within Google.

We don't use much Python. Mostly C++ and Java.

I am a core dev on the golang team. Teams and engineers at Google can use whichever language they want. (trade-offs abound) We're trying to make Go be the most compelling language with the fewer trade-offs so they're willing to switch. It's

There's less bureaucracy than you imagine. I asked a couple coworkers from the Go and Downloads team, "hey, should I post about this?" and they were like, "yeah, go for it." But yes, it's kinda marketing because I love Go (which is why I j

Libraries exist. I just didn't link one in out of laziness.

He works on Go at Google. He updated an earlier version of Go to run on an earlier version of NaCL, but it's since bitrot as NaCL's formats were changing at the time.

Security restriction. Go code can be verified as safe if it doesn't use the unsafe package.

Hate to disappoint, but Campher uses cgo + the unsafe package, which means it Campher won't run on App Engine, which doesn't allow "unsafe".

I think it might have a bug or two yet. Perl is reference counted and Go is garbage collected. Keeping those two synchronized was a bit tricky and I still fear I messed it up somewhere... I need to re-read the Perl docs on when I'm suppos

We could (and kinda expected that somebody _would_) but I don't quite see the existing tools working. I'd love to be proven wrong, though. I suppose it could be done with some remapping front-end, but I think that front-end would also nee

What Brett said. Also, as the project matures we will provide binaries and downloads but for now the barrier to entry is probably convenient. Go isn't the project's choice. It's my personal choice as I continue to love the language. The pro
