As if I wasn't bored enough, I've written a proof-of-concept blog using Go, that new language out of Google. I blogged about this language before, but I wanted to give it a real test drive, so I came up with this.

Pointers ahoy

The first thing I noticed when I got started was pointer trouble on my part. Go still has pointers like in C, but some of the syntax smooths over the differences.

Go is that new-fangled language out of Google, and though I won't describe it (been done much better by somebody else), I will give a few opinions from the point of view of somebody who's written some code in it.

C-like syntax

It looks like C. Braces, parens and semi-colons all make yet another cameo in a programming language.
