'Google Go' - that is the name of the new open source "experimental programming language" that Internet search biggie Google introduced on Tuesday, asserting that the language is not only fast and productive, but also 'fun to use' for developers.

As per by the Go-specific information forwarded by 'The Go Team' - including Robert Griesemer, Rob Pike, Ian Taylor, Ken Thompson, Russ Cox, Adam Langley and Jini Kim - on the Google open source blog, the experiments thus far conducted with 'Go' have revealed that the language facilitates instantaneous typical builds, and compilation of large binaries within seconds.

Noting that the compiled code runs nearly at the speed of speed of C, the blog further said that 'Go' essentially combines the development pace of a dynamic language, like Python, with the safety and performance of a compiled language, like C or C++.

The experimental 'Go' language, which is being offered under a BSD-style license, has been described on the 'Go' Web page Go as being expressive, concurrent, and garbage-collected.

Meanwhile, referring to the prospective users of Google's new programming language, an FAQ on the 'Go' web site went thus: "We hope adventurous users will give it a try and see if they enjoy it. Not every programmer will, but we hope enough will find satisfaction in the approach it offers to justify further development."
