Go: New programming language from google


This language should allow compilation speed even for large binary files, have a good support for multi-processing, management and innovative light-oriented programming (OOP).
Currently, there are two official compilers: Gccgo, which relies on GCC as a back-end, and a suite of compilers, 6g and 8g, respectively developed for x86 64-bit and x86 32-bit. Google should also release the short-term support for ARM chips and devices Android.

sample Code Hello world

// varkala.go /
package main
import fmt "fmt" / / package that implements the functions of I / O.
func main () {
fmt. printf ( "Hello World \ n");
}
