----boundary-LibPST-iamunique-1370686847_-_- Content-type: text/plain What are Go's ancestors? Go is mostly in the C family (basic syntax), with significant input from the Pascal/Modula/Oberon family (declarations, packages), plus some ideas from languages inspired by Tony Hoare's CSP, such as Newsqueak and Limbo (concurrency). However, it is a new language across the board. In every respect the language was designed by thinking about what programmers do and how to make programming, at least the kind of programming we do, more effective, which means more fun. ---- To unsubscribe, send a message with body "SIGNOFF BLACKBOX" to LISTSERV{([at]})nowhere.xy ----boundary-LibPST-iamunique-1370686847_-_- Content-type: application/rtf Content-transfer-encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="rtf-body.rtf" e1xydGYxXGFuc2lcYW5zaWNwZzEyNTJcZnJvbWh0bWwxIFxkZWZmMHtcZm9udHRibA0Ke1xmMFxm c3dpc3MgQXJpYWw7fQ0Ke1xmMVxmbW9kZXJuIENvdXJpZXIgTmV3O30NCntcZjJcZm5pbFxmY2hh cnNldDIgU3ltYm9sO30NCntcZjNcZm1vZGVyblxmY2hhcnNldDAgQ291cmllciBOZXc7fX0NCntc Y29sb3J0YmxccmVkMFxncmVlbjBcYmx1ZTA7XHJlZDBcZ3JlZW4wXGJsdWUyNTU7fQ0KXHVjMVxw YXJkXHBsYWluXGRlZnRhYjM2MCBcZjBcZnMyNCANCntcKlxodG1sdGFnMjQzIDwhRE9DVFlQRSBo dG1sIFBVQkxJQyAiLS8vVzNDLy9EVEQgSFRNTCA0LjAxIFRyYW5zaXRpb25hbC8vRU4iPn0NCntc KlxodG1sdGFnMyBccGFyIH0NCntcKlxodG1sdGFnMTkgPGh0bWw+fQ0Ke1wqXGh0bWx0YWcyIFxw YXIgfQ0Ke1wqXGh0bWx0YWczNCA8aGVhZD59DQp7XCpcaHRtbHRhZzEgXHBhciB9DQp7XCpcaHRt bHRhZzQxIDwvaGVhZD59DQp7XCpcaHRtbHRhZzIgXHBhciB9DQp7XCpcaHRtbHRhZzUwIDxib2R5 IGJnY29sb3I9IiNmZmZmZmYiIHRleHQ9IiMwMDAwMDAiPn1caHRtbHJ0ZiBcdmlld2tpbmQ1DQp7 XCpcYmFja2dyb3VuZCB7XHNocHtcKlxzaHBpbnN0e1xzcHtcc24gZmlsbENvbG9yfXtcc3YgMTY3 NzcyMTV9fXtcc3B7XHNuIGZGaWxsZWR9e1xzdiAxfX19fX1caHRtbHJ0ZjAgDQp7XCpcaHRtbHRh ZzAgXHBhciB9DQp7XCpcaHRtbHRhZzY0IDxoMyBpZD0iYW5jZXN0b3JzIj59XGh0bWxydGYge1xm czI4IFxwYXJcYiBcaHRtbHJ0ZjAgXGh0bWxydGYge1xodG1scnRmMCBcaHRtbHJ0ZiB7XGZzMjgg XGh0bWxydGYwIFdoYXQgYXJlIEdvJ3MgYW5jZXN0b3JzP1xodG1scnRmIH1caHRtbHJ0ZjAgXGh0 bWxydGZccGFyfVxodG1scnRmMA0KXGh0bWxydGYgXHBhciB9XGh0bWxydGYwIA0Ke1wqXGh0bWx0 YWc3MiA8L2gzPn0NCntcKlxodG1sdGFnMCBccGFyIH0NCntcKlxodG1sdGFnNjQgPHA+fVxodG1s cnRmIFxwYXINClxodG1scnRmMCBcaHRtbHJ0ZiB7XGh0bWxydGYwIA0Ke1wqXGh0bWx0YWc0IFxw YXIgfUdvIGlzIG1vc3RseSBpbiB0aGUgQyBmYW1pbHkgKGJhc2ljIHN5bnRheCksDQp7XCpcaHRt bHRhZzQgXHBhciB9XGh0bWxydGYgIFxodG1scnRmMCB3aXRoIHNpZ25pZmljYW50IGlucHV0IGZy b20gdGhlIFBhc2NhbC9Nb2R1bGEvT2Jlcm9uDQp7XCpcaHRtbHRhZzQgXHBhciB9XGh0bWxydGYg IFxodG1scnRmMCBmYW1pbHkgKGRlY2xhcmF0aW9ucywgcGFja2FnZXMpLA0Ke1wqXGh0bWx0YWc0 IFxwYXIgfVxodG1scnRmICBcaHRtbHJ0ZjAgcGx1cyBzb21lIGlkZWFzIGZyb20gbGFuZ3VhZ2Vz DQp7XCpcaHRtbHRhZzQgXHBhciB9XGh0bWxydGYgIFxodG1scnRmMCBpbnNwaXJlZCBieSBUb255 IEhvYXJlJ3MgQ1NQLA0Ke1wqXGh0bWx0YWc0IFxwYXIgfVxodG1scnRmICBcaHRtbHJ0ZjAgc3Vj aCBhcyBOZXdzcXVlYWsgYW5kIExpbWJvIChjb25jdXJyZW5jeSkuDQp7XCpcaHRtbHRhZzQgXHBh ciB9XGh0bWxydGYgIFxodG1scnRmMCBIb3dldmVyLCBpdCBpcyBhIG5ldyBsYW5ndWFnZSBhY3Jv c3MgdGhlIGJvYXJkLg0Ke1wqXGh0bWx0YWc0IFxwYXIgfVxodG1scnRmICBcaHRtbHJ0ZjAgSW4g ZXZlcnkgcmVzcGVjdCB0aGUgbGFuZ3VhZ2Ugd2FzIGRlc2lnbmVkIGJ5IHRoaW5raW5nDQp7XCpc aHRtbHRhZzQgXHBhciB9XGh0bWxydGYgIFxodG1scnRmMCBhYm91dCB3aGF0IHByb2dyYW1tZXJz IGRvIGFuZCBob3cgdG8gbWFrZSBwcm9ncmFtbWluZywgYXQgbGVhc3QgdGhlDQp7XCpcaHRtbHRh ZzQgXHBhciB9XGh0bWxydGYgIFxodG1scnRmMCBraW5kIG9mIHByb2dyYW1taW5nIHdlIGRvLCBt b3JlIGVmZmVjdGl2ZSwgd2hpY2ggbWVhbnMgbW9yZSBmdW4uDQp7XCpcaHRtbHRhZzQgXHBhciB9 XGh0bWxydGYgIFxodG1scnRmMCBcaHRtbHJ0ZlxwYXJ9XGh0bWxydGYwDQpcaHRtbHJ0ZiBccGFy DQpcaHRtbHJ0ZjAgDQp7XCpcaHRtbHRhZzcyIDwvcD59DQp7XCpcaHRtbHRhZzAgXHBhciB9DQp7 XCpcaHRtbHRhZzU4IDwvYm9keT59DQp7XCpcaHRtbHRhZzIgXHBhciB9DQp7XCpcaHRtbHRhZzI3 IDwvaHRtbD59DQp7XCpcaHRtbHRhZzMgXHBhciB9DQp7XCpcaHRtbHRhZzY0IDxwPn1caHRtbHJ0 ZiB7XGh0bWxydGYwIA0Ke1wqXGh0bWx0YWc0IFxwYXIgfS0tLS0NCntcKlxodG1sdGFnNCBccGFy IH1caHRtbHJ0ZiAgXGh0bWxydGYwIFRvIHVuc3Vic2NyaWJlLCBzZW5kIGEgbWVzc2FnZSB3aXRo IGJvZHkgIlNJR05PRkYgQkxBQ0tCT1giIHRvIExJU1RTRVJWQExJU1RTLk9CRVJPTi5DSA0Ke1wq XGh0bWx0YWc0IFxwYXIgfVxodG1scnRmICBcaHRtbHJ0ZjAgXGh0bWxydGZccH19ACA8Y2hyaXNA Q0ZCUw== ----boundary-LibPST-iamunique-1370686847_-_--- Received on Wed Nov 11 2009 - 23:45:59 UTC
