Also Brad Fitzpatrick (of LiveJournal and memcached fame) recently moved from the Android team to the Go team. Go on Android should be quite cool, but what will be awesome is Go on AppEngine.

Some people consider the lack of function overloading a feature. And languages that have function overloading have plenty of API changes that could benefit from something like gofix.

The Python stdlib is full of examples of CamelCase, under_score and alltogether. In Ruby just looking at the methods for strings is enough to find this like: "instance_variable_defined?", "rindex", "tr_s", "casecmp", "equal?", "eql?" and mo

This is covered in the basic language introduction: names starting with a capital letter are public, names starting in lower case are private. Go's naming conventions are much more clean, respected and even enforced than in almost any other

Never heard of "LikaALot", and googling doesn't come up with anything, do you have a link?

OpenID is ridiculously complex for what it does (and in any case, complexity is the antithesis of security), and fortunately seems to have failed. The abstract idea was good, the standard itself is awful.

> Go might be interesting for you if you are coming from c++ Go might be more interesting if you are coming from C. Go and C++ are pretty much antithetical. For some reason Go also seems to interest people coming from Ruby.

An SPDY implementation was recently added to the development version of Go's standard library. (Not surprising given that agl is also part of the Go team at Google.)

I guess almost everything can be implemented by something else that is general enough, the question is how convenient and practical it is. A core concept in CSP for is channels, and I think you can mostly build that on top of an actor-model

Many C programmers would argue that C++ does not belong to the C family of languages.

A nice thing about Go is that is a relatively small language, and you can grasp the whole language and have a chance of holding the whole thing in your head without going insane in the process. And despite that, it has plenty of interesting

This is one of the reasons I love CSP and languages with CSP-like concurrency like Go (and Erlang, although it is more CSP-inspired than CSP-like). I really can't understand why anyone would want to use anything else for concurrent programm

While in recent times this might be true, I seem to recall AMD also beat Intel to 1Ghz, and I was not paying that much attention at the time, but I think they came with multi-core cpus around the same time if not a bit earlier than Intel. F

Oh, this is such a great argument for thought crimes! Because most crimes occur after somebody thinks of them, we should ban any thought (and by implication this includes any depiction) of any crime! I'm sure that will work out great. But i

Well, in fairness, religious people seem to have difficulty telling apart fantasies from reality... After all, that is what faith is, a strong belief that your fantasies are real.

Google Wave sucked , and was a stupid idea on way too many levels to list (the concept, the technology, and the interface to begin with). But Wave was not a 20% project, and that is probably one of the reasons it flopped, it got over hyp
