Why Go @ajstarks The Go Programming Language

is a static typed,

c lookalike,

semicolon-less,

self formatting,

package managed,

object oriented,

easily paralellizable,

cluster fuck of genius

with an unique class inheritance system.

Andrew Mackenzie-Ross, OBJECTIVE-C LESSONS FROM GO It doesn't have one. Zilch. Nada. Zero. A few months ago, I had a look at the brainchild of a few serious heavyweights working at Google. Their project, the Go programming language, is a static typed, c lookalike, semicolon-less, self formatting, package managed, object oriented, easily paralellizable, cluster fuck of genius with an unique class inheritance system. It doesn't have one. Zilch. Nada. Zero. So, the next time you're about to make a subclass, think hard and ask yourself what would Go do Andrew Mackenzie-Ross, http://pocket.co/sSc56 @ajstarks package main import "fmt" func main() { fmt.Println("hello, world") } This is the traditional "hello, world" program. It's five lines long, and imports the fmt package, leading some to be suprised at the size of the resulting binary. Why Go @ajstarks made with deck github.com/ajstarks/openvg ajstarks@gmail.com
