Mark Chu-Carroll on The Go Programming Language

6:45 PM, Suspenders Restaurant
http://www.suspendersbar.com/location.php

Go is …
… simple
package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
fmt.Printf("Hello, 世界n")
}
… fast
Go compilers produce fast code fast. Typical builds take a fraction of a 
second yet the resulting programs run nearly as quickly as comparable C 
or C++ code.
… safe
Go is type safe and memory safe. Go has pointers but no pointer 
arithmetic. For random access, use slices, which know their limits.
… concurrent
Go promotes writing systems and servers as sets of lightweight 
communicating processes, called goroutines, with strong support from the 
language. Run thousands of goroutines if you want—and say good-bye to 
stack overflows.
… fun
Go has fast builds, clean syntax, garbage collection, methods for any 
type, and run-time reflection. It feels like a dynamic language but has 
the speed and safety of a static language. It`s a joy to use.
… open source

NYCBSDCon 2010 is set for November 12-14 at Cooper Union in Manhattan.

www.cooper.edu.

We are very excited for this year's event.

We have a discussion mailing list for planning details at 
http://lists.nycbug.org/mailman/listinfo/nycbsdcon.  If you are 
interested in helping out, sorting out travel arrangements, etc., we 
encourage you to use that list.

We will have an open organizing meeting for the conference in mid-July, 
so keep an eye out for details.

We'll also have a flier ready for anyone attending other events over the 
next few months.
