Go fer golang!

You know what's a great policy to have at your workplace? Being able to have "education time" to do research and studying for self-improvement while on the job. This week, I took a first look at Google's rising language.

Go. No seriously, that's what its called. Google claims that they developed this language to be easy to pick up, understand, be efficinet and enforce unity in programming styles. Having taken a basic look and practiced it a bit, it seems they have taken a lot of good things from different languages.

It almost feels like if C, Python, Swift spawned a child and named it "Go." You'll see what I mean if you give it a try.

On the .NET side of things, it is pretty strongly typed. Pythonically speaking, it enforces specific code formatting and organization. Swiftly speaking, it organizes its variables by name, followed afterwards with a type.

I know it is fairly new (eight years isn't too long for a programming language), but I'm pretty excited about it, and I hope to one day be able to use it in a real professional situation.
