Google Go Goes "Go 1"

Google Go is Google's #-Link-Snipped-# and the '#-Link-Snipped-#' has achieved a new milestone today with the launch of version 1, called Go 1. It defines a language and set of core libraries. Google announced the availability of binary distributions for various platforms including Linux, Mac OSX, FreeBSD and of course, Windows. Google claims that Go1 has been programmed to offer stability and forward compatibility so that the developers who code Go 1 programs can be absolutely sure that their programs will run on various platforms without needing any change. Google's Andrew Gerrand #-Link-Snipped-# that Go 1 is not a major redesign of the existing Go programming language. It's more of a 'clean up' version and offers improved stability.



The Go 1 also brings few changes to the language. For example it now has new types of unicode characters and errors. Detailed report of the changes incorporated in Go 1 are available in official #-Link-Snipped-#. We would like to know how many of you are planning to try your hands on the new Go programming language? Do you think the language is ready for wider adoption by the developer community?
