TechCrunch reports that Google has released a new programming language called Go.
They describe it as Python meets C++: http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/11/10/google-go-language/ Here is the language site: http://golang.org/ Has anyone here played with Go yet? I have been hankering for the easy development practices of a scripting language like Python or Ruby in a language that compiles to fast binary code. cf. Discussion of Python's long term performance limitations: http://groups.google.com/group/unladen-swallow/browse_thread/thread/4edbc406f544643e Anyone know of an alternative that provides the best of all worlds?
