GO: Google Launches Its Own Programming Language

Today the search giant released Go, an open-source development language that Google believes will combine performance with speed, and one that the company probably hopes will reshape the development and software industries in its favor.

Go is based on the C programming family, one of the most widely used programming language trees in the world. However, the twist is that incorporates elements of Python (a preferred development language within Google) and the Pascal/Modula/Oberon family to make faster and more dynamic programs.

用自己的程式語言,一方面可以最佳化自己的開發環境、一方面可以綁程式設計師和軟體規格,是個聰明的作法;當然,沒有相當雄厚的資金和經濟規模是做不到的。

It's smart to develop a "private" programming language (well, in fact it's open-source), since this optimizes Google's own development environment as well as encompasses future app specs and even programmers' direction. Smart.

Of course, this takes a deep pocket and economic scale to do so, which Google has them all.

這個和 Zimbu 很像, http://www.zimbu.org , Zimbu 是由 vim 的作者提出的.
看來大家看法都一樣, 今天的電腦語言入門門檻太高了.
我現在也在寫一支程式, 不過和他們不同的是,我選用 Applesoft 的 BASIC, 可以直接畫圖,給入門的人可以快速的看到結果,而且可以很快的得到寫程式的樂趣,而不是先看書,研究半天, 才可以寫出一個可以執行的 Hello World! 現在有那個電腦語言可以讓使初學者在一個小時之內畫出一條圖形直線的?
