Mountain View, Nov 11 (THAINDIAN NEWS) In a major boost in the arm for programmers and developers, Google has just announced the release of a new, open sourced programming language, which is called Go. Google says that Go programming language is right now experimental, and it combines the performance oriented and security benefits of a compiled language like C++ with the speed of a dynamic language like Python.

According to the official Google announcement, Go is very fast, as in their experiments with Go, typical builds feel instantaneous; even huge imposing binaries compile in just some seconds. And the compiled code runs quite parallel to the speed of C. Go is aiming to be a fast language. And they hoped that it will be a great tool for systems programming with support for multi-processing and a fresh and lightweight take on object-oriented design, with some cool features like true closures and reflection.

Google said that it came out with this language because computer’s speed is increasing by leaps and bounds but at the same rate the speed of software development is not progressing. Hence they felt the need for a faster language, which they hoped would be Go.

There is also a growing protest against difficult type systems like of Java and C++, which are pushing people towards dynamically typed languages such as Python and Javascript. And Go also hopes to be in the same league.
