Google Go Capturing Developer Interest
angry tapir writes with news that Google Go seems to be cutting a wide swath through the programming community in just a short time since its early, experimental release. While Google insists that Go is still a work in progress (like so many of their offerings), many developers are so intrigued by the feature set that they are already implementing many noncritical applications with it. What experiences, good or bad, have you had with Google Go, and how likely is it to really take over?
You're reallying use a dynamically typed, interpreted language with no multiprocessor support to run "huge massively-parallel scientific codes"?
You sir are a badass, a moron or a sadist. I'm not sure which.
Mod me down, my New Earth Global Warmingist friends!
You're joking, but what you said is actually a problem. Go suffers from the same design mentality behind UNIX and C. Whether you love C or hate C, we don't need a new clone that solves none of the problems and introduces no new ideas.
There are lots of people who have designed and implemented a C-like programming language. I'm one of them. The only reason anybody even cares about Go is because of Ken's name, which is pretty surprising because his insane, short-sighted design decisions are responsible for so many software engineering problems it isn't even funny.
You've proven nothing but your own inability to write good Java.
