Yup! Another new(ish) product from Google.

Go is the new programming language developed by Google with its accompanying compiler Ogle and below character as its mascot:

Although you may get beaten up for wearing any clothing featuring the mascot, the language does actually sound exiting and I thought it was worth mentioning.

This new programming language has a focus on concurrency, garbage collection, and expressiveness. This essentially, means you can separate tasks out into separate processes and have them running all at the same time, whilst at the same time, any unused items of code in memory get destroyed in real-time optimising performance, and lastly that the code uses syntax closer to human speech so its easier for programmers and non programmers alike to interpret and write code. This last factor is one on the increase in new frameworks, although it has long been one of the key features of scripted languages like lisp, smalltalk, ruby and perl.

The golang site is actually powered using this language, and it looks like the language was born out of and is geared toward creating server solutions. I see another David Heinmeir Hanson and new scripting language emerging soon!!
