The Go Programming Language

Eventually isn't a practical timing in most software projects.
Seriously guys, we should be improving/integrating what already works not reinventing the wheel

hihi i know this is not the right place but.. Any guys want to chat i feel sooo lonely ;)

inventing a programming language that will eventually over run all phones, computers, GPS systems, and cars seems like a good way to go for me. :)

I want Python that is as fast as C++. And no, I don't agree with your question at all.

Does anyone else feels like this is a project run by people that couldn't program well in python or c++?
You need the advantages of a statically typed language in python. Build smart code.
You need the efficiency of C++ with a shorter grammar. Use GCJ.
Inventing a new programming language for each small problem that you face, doesn't look like the way to go for me.

Seems lyk a lot still needs to be done in terms of libraries. I wonder how Go would turn out to be if Donald Knuth were on the Go development team. :)

Ken Thompson is ok, but he's certainly not the greatest or even close.

I disagree. What hasn't changed is the style of the languages and the fundamental concepts. We are programming on a higher level though (higher levels of abstraction and ever more libraries).

Arguing that nothing has fundamentally changed is like arguing that the grammar of a high school student as compared to a novelist hasn't changed. That may be true but entirely misses the point that the vocabulary is larger and the concepts expressed are much more elaborate.

Statically typed language with the easy of dynamically typed languages = type inference. This has been done since the 70's with the ML family of languages.
