Google’s launch of a new programming language, known as Go, took the application development world by storm when the search giant released it on November 10. The ambitious technology comes with a pedigree featuring 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, the language is now viewed as a general purpose language for web development, mobile development, addressing parallelism and a lot more.
