Google Go Capturing Developer Interest

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the fear-the-behemoth dept.

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?

    "Proprietary"? No, open source

    I'll concede Google is a single company, but the Go developers I've encountered are all outside Google, and speak very warmly of Google's Go team.

    Translation: there is much astro-turfing on them thar intarwebs. This ain't it.

    There has been no settlement because there has been no legal dispute. There has been no legal dispute because the creator didn't trademark the name 'Go'.
