typical builds feel instantaneous; even large binaries compile in just a few seconds. and the compiled code runs close to the speed of c. go lets you move fast. go is a great language for systems programming with rs gold support for multi-processing, a fresh and lightweight take on object-oriented design, plus some cool features like true closures and reflection. go comes with built-in support for concurrency, what google calls a "novel" type system, and as mentioned above, it is apparently really fast. google says most builds take well under a second.
the following clip provides some more info about the language: the go site offers a number of documents, such as a tutorial, a faq page, a tech talk, language specification, memory model, and more. there are how-tos for installing go and contributing code. there is command documentation, package documentation, and source files. if you¡¯re a developer itching to mess around with a new language, go dig in. related articles: >google developers produce new programming language open android alliance poses problem for google >google gives android developers a donut. a friend sent me this link comparing revenue, profit, and cash positions for microsoft and apple. i almost fell off my chair when reading this data from microsoft¡¯s and apple¡¯s most recent quarterly filing: seriously, when did this happen??? i mean, i knew apple was doing well, but i¡¯d taken the time to compare their financials versus microsoft. wow. nice work team apple! next, via matt asay, gizmodo is reporting that the new macbooks will prevent jailbroken iphone and ipod devices. it seems that the culprit is a new build of itunes for the new macbooks. things work fine on a windows machine.
a gizmodo commenter runescape gold writes: ¡°while i don¡¯t like it, i can see why apple tries to prevent jailbreaking and unlocking. unlocking hurts them in the pocket and they are in the business of making money, after all. jailbreaking opens up the possibility of piracy of app store apps, this is just their way of trying to prevent piracy. it¡¯s no different from firmware updates for game consoles that break previous hacking techniques.¡± it always surprises me how apple and microsoft can make the exact same move and microsoft will attract criticism, while apple will attract praise. part of this is because apple¡¯s products really are sexy and fun to use. http://www.congrats2u.net/MAIN/blogs/entry/Pick-up-the-Night-ruling- http://www.cricket-network.net/blog/view/id_33671/title_met-in-a-small-copy-of-the-uncle-when-t/ http://www.freespiritpeople.com/community/blogs.php?action=show_member_post&ownerID=902&post_id=13036 http://www.friendsofbledsoecreekstatepark.org/blogs/entry/Addressed-three-areas-Garona-friends-Stanford-
