Go programming language

Google is developing a new programming language called Go. One of the designers behind it is Ken Thompson.
From the Go language web site:
"The Go programming language is an open source project to make programmers more productive. Go is expressive, concise, clean, and efficient. Its concurrency mechanisms make it easy to write programs that get the most out of multicore and networked machines, while its novel type system enables flexible and modular program construction. Go compiles quickly to machine code yet has the convenience of garbage collection and the power of run-time reflection. It's a fast, statically typed, compiled language that feels like a dynamically typed, interpreted language."
I have experimented with it yet, but sounds like it might be a good language for writing bots.

I've marginally dealt with Go. It's definitely great for taking advantage of multiple processors, which it sounds like many Arimaa bots are either moving to, have recently moved to, or need to move to. I remember we had a lot of issues with the language itself, mostly nuances, but I don't recall what they all were. The most difficult part, though, is trying to find information on Go online. It's just too common of a word/substring.

I wrote my bot in Go. I don't love any programming language, but I would give Go a positive review. I remember disliking Go arrays/slices and the lack of generic types... but I haven't used the language much at all in the last year, and it is still under development, so even those things might become / already be better.
While searching the internet, it is useful to use the name "Golang" instead of two letter name of the language.
