GO -> Google's OpenSource programming Language

Google has released it new opensource programming language called GO.
GO tends to be a mixture of C , C++ ,Phyton and Javascript.
It is said to be very fast in compilation (over 120K lines of code compiling in under 10 seconds)

Currently Google tells it still has not started implementing the GO platform for it own internal use, but it has started moving towards it.
GO runs on GO.

With Google Android for Mobile , Google Wave on Collaboration , Google GO will make a impact on the coming next generation of Software Applications
