The Go Programming Language

6:45 PM, Suspenders Restaurant
http://www.suspendersbar.com/location.php

Go is simple

package main
import "fmt"
func main() {
fmt.Printf("Hello,\n")
}

fast

Go compilers produce fast code fast. Typical builds take a fraction of a
second yet the resulting programs run nearly as quickly as comparable C
or C++ code.

safe

Go is type safe and memory safe. Go has pointers but no pointer
arithmetic. For random access, use slices, which know their limits.

concurrent

Go promotes writing systems and servers as sets of lightweight
communicating processes, called goroutines, with strong support
from the language. Run thousands of goroutines if you want and
say good-bye to stack overflows.

fun

Go has fast builds, clean syntax, garbage collection, methods for
any type, and run-time reflection. It feels like a dynamic
language but has the speed and safety of a static language. It`s
a joy to use.

open source

Mark Chu-Carroll is a software engineer at Google, who is utterly
obsessed with programming languages. He's been working on
software development tools for close to 20 years. In his free
time, he writes the blog Good Math/Bad Math at scienceblogs.com.


August 4th - Ivan Ivanov on Examples in Cryptography with OpenSSL

September 1st - Bruno Scap on Building Email Infrastructure
