Google brand-new programming language

[unni]

Google has released a brand-new programming language it hopes will solve some of the problems with existing languages such as Java and C++.

The language is called Go, developer is Rob Pike and it was released under an open source license .

Google is no stranger to the open source world. The company has released the underlying code for several of its tools and services under open source licenses over the years

Like many of Google’s open source projects, Go began life as a 20 percent time project (the time Google gives its engineers to experiment) and evolved into something more serious. Go has been in development for over two years now, but Google is hoping that, by releasing Go under a BSD-style license, a community will develop and build Go into a viable choice for software development.
