Search, mail, mobile operating systems, advertising and mapping. These are all areas in which Google plays a big part. The company is ever expanding, however, and today they've demonstrated that: Google has just introduced an entirely new programming language, taking influences from C++ and Python, called, quite simply, Go. The language, which has a website here, “combines the development speed of working in a dynamic language like Python with the performance and safety of a compiled language like C or C++,” according to the blog post made by Google. To give you a sample of the code, courtesy of TechCrunch, here is a simple 'Hello, World!' program. 05 package main 07 import fmt “fmt” // Package implementing formatted I/O.

Google’s new programming language, called Go, took the application development world by storm when the search giant released it. The ambitious technology’s pedigree features programming experts from the Unix world, including Ken Thompson, who teamed with Dennis Ritchie to create Unix. Created as a systems programming language to help speed up development of systems inside Google, Go is now viewed as a general-purpose language for Web development, mobile development, addressing parallelism and a lot more.
