What is HNs general feeling toward the Go Programming Language? Will this be the next big thing to develop with?
There's a rather attractive summary on the golang.org main page:
"The Go programming language is an open source project to make programmers more productive. Go is expressive, concise, clean, and efficient. Its concurrency mechanisms make it easy to write programs that get the most out of multicore and networked machines, while its novel type system enables flexible and modular program construction. Go compiles quickly to machine code yet has the convenience of garbage collection and the power of run-time reflection. It's a fast, statically typed, compiled language that feels like a dynamically typed, interpreted language."
But how likely is this language to be generally accepted? I guess only time can tell as to whether they generate enough interest for people to start developing cool things with it. Just trying to get a better idea as to whether it'd be worth my time to really dive into... (I know, more exposure never hurt anyone... Sans Chernobyl... too soon?)
