Google Go Programming Language Released

Google has released an experimental language called Go Programming language as an open source software.

 

The new Go programming language uses web friendly attributes of scripting languages like Python and performance attributes of languages like C++. So it can be used to build web servers and databases.

 

This move is an attempt by the internet giant to gain a stronghold in Information Technology. Earlier, Google had announced the creation of the Android OS for the mobiles and Google Chrome OS for the PC browsers.

 

According to the sources, the new Go programming language was started much before with the active guidance from Ken Thompson, Robert Thompson and Rob Pike. Robert Thompson was the key man in the development of Java HotSpot compiler, whereas the others were associated with the development of the Unix operating system.

 

Google has clarified that the new programming language will be used for building web servers and databases. It is also optimized for multi-processing and multi-core-based systems.

 

It is expected that the new language will improve the handling of dependencies between reusable software components like the libraries.

 

A Google blog post said, "Here at Google, we believe programming should be fast, productive, and most importantly, fun. That's why we'rhttp://www.india-server.com/news/google-go-programming-language-released-15880.htmle excited to open source an experimental new language called Go."

 

"Typical builds feel instantaneous; even large binaries compile in just a few seconds. And the compiled code runs close to the speed of C. Go lets you move fast," the blog post added.

 

Google is hopeful that releasing the Go language to the open source community will help in getting valuable inputs for the future development.
