[FRIAM] The Go Programming Language

[Roger Critchlow]

It was something in the networking/dns setup that failed, but something else
in the 24 changes released since earlier this afternoon fixed the problem.

This is from the Bell Labs corner at Google, the principle designers of the
language are Robert Griesemer, Rob Pike and Ken Thompson.

No stinking GUI's, designed for writing servers, the http server at
golang.org is a go program, communicating sequential processes, parses w/out
a symbol table, no separate header files (the module source is the module
spec), no type inheritance (if it meets the interface, it meets the
interface), fast compilation, no exponential growth in compile time with
project size, garbage collected, built in strings, built in maps, concise
syntax, no pointer arithmetic, and the gopher's still cool, if a little
obscene.
