Why I Program in Go

[quote]
Go is a fresh new programming language, that has come out of Google and is primarily targeted towards server development. It is developed by some very accomplished computer scientists, like Ken Thompson and Rob Pike. I recently launched a significant new product built with Go at work, and it has proved itself out very well in terms of developer productivity and performance. So much so that many other teams are also giving it a go (oh, how punny this language's name is).

Think about it. How often do you come across a programming innovation that improves productivity and computational performance?

go sucks

I feel this discussion has come to its logical conclusion.

``Features'' like these always remind of people's CVs. Who isn't a hard-working and motivated individual who is a good team player but also works well independently?

Get out of here. Also, your question makes no sense, since Go is a language. It cannot increase computational performance. Whether or not it improves productivity (which depends on many factors) is debatable.

Overall, you get a 1/10 for effort.

As seen on Hacker Jews.

There's a language without pointer arithmetic with a conservative GC and they call it 1.0? Terrible!

It improves performance by offloading some of the more data-intensive parts to Google servers.

>>9
The conservativity of the GC isn't part of the specification.

>>10
just because google is the only provider of quantum-processor-time on this planet.
