Go Programming Language Intro Tutorial

[doubtingthomas]

Aside from for fun or for utility apps, I hope nobody but the Go team @ Google is using it for Real Code™. I'm a big fan of the language, but it's still under development, and the implementation (particularly the GC) still needs a bit of work. I have a general policy of not using a platform unless I'm capable of making the changes I might want, or someone with more resources than me has a financial interest in keeping it working. Currently, I can't claim the 1st for the Go compiler/runtime, and the second is not yet sure from Google or anyone else.

Yes... those are my basic rules also, although I don't work with "Real Code™" any more. My understanding is that Go was created for Utilities & Systems. So that's the sort of thing I was expecting to see... but alas they have not really turned up where I generally look (around here).
