Go

Go is an actively used programming language created in 2009. Go (often referred to as golang) is a programming language created at Google in 2009 by Robert Griesemer, Rob Pike, and Ken Thompson. It is a compiled, statically typed language in the tradition of Algol and C, with garbage collection, limited structural typing, memory safety features and CSP-style concurrent programming features added. The compiler and other language tools originally developed by Google are all free and open source.. Read more on Wikipedia...

Example code from the Hello World Collection:

// Hello world in Go

package main
import "fmt"
func main() {
 fmt.Printf("Hello World\n")
}

Example code from Linguist:

// Autogenerated by Thrift Compiler (1.0.0-dev)
// DO NOT EDIT UNLESS YOU ARE SURE THAT YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING

package linguist

import (
	"bytes"
	"fmt"
	"git.apache.org/thrift.git/lib/go/thrift"
)

// (needed to ensure safety because of naive import list construction.)
var _ = thrift.ZERO
var _ = fmt.Printf
var _ = bytes.Equal

func init() {
}

Example code from Wikipedia:

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "time"
)

func readword(ch chan string) {
    fmt.Println("Type a word, then hit Enter.")
    var word string
    fmt.Scanf("%s", &word)
    ch <- word
}

func timeout(t chan bool) {
    time.Sleep(5 * time.Second)
    t <- true
}

func main() {
    t := make(chan bool)
    go timeout(t)

    ch := make(chan string)

    case word := <-ch:
        fmt.Println("Received", word)
