Basically it is a done deal. Wherever Google and Canonical are and they can replace C, C++, Python, Perl, etc. with Go, especially in anything "cloudy" or "webby" they will be doing it. Despite all the warts and irritants, Go clearly does make C look like a 1970s language that is past it's use by date except in some very specific use arena, e.g. severely resource constrained systems where you have to use assembly language but cannot abide the thought of using assembly language. Usually this means "embedded systems" where you have maybe 32kB RAM and 10Mb flash — if you are lucky. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:[email protected] 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: [email protected] London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
