  1. Go is Python meets C++ with the Python removed
  2. OH: A: I really like the graphic for Eldarion. Did you make it? B: oh no. we hired someone from the future to make it. #futurenewman
  3. @zacharyvoase in fact, its stated inspirations are C, Pascal family and CSP — hardly ground-breaking new research languages
  4. @zacharyvoase seems to me to be an evolution of C without any (explicitly credited) ideas from newer languages
  5. @r1chardj0n3s only if I can use git :-)
  6. okay, so who's porting CPython to Go?
  7. ...sorry first four commits
  8. ...note author and dates
  9. the first three commits to Go repository are hilarious! start at http://bit.ly/45jnPA
  10. @freakboy3742 no, that's @zacharyvoase
  11. I just realised the last time I did C++ was before @alex_gaynor was born
  12. @brosner :-)
  13. @akkartik hehe, I was being facetious :-)
  14. @gsiegman me too :-)
  15. Go source code is required to be in UTF-8. Given the creators of the language, didn't see THAT one coming ;-)
  16. @f4nt I don't think the Unladen Swallow guys think it will ever get close to *C* just a few times faster than CPython.
  17. @gsiegman stick with Python yourself and occasionally use Python-wrapped C libraries written by others :-)
  18. @f4nt how far we are from what?
  19. @gsiegman that said, I've seen cases where Python can beat, say, Java, but only where the Python library impl is in C and the Java one isn't
  20. @gsiegman happens that one of the Unladen Swallow contributors works at Eldarion and his response to that question is "No" :-)
