Google has released an experimental programming language to the open source community.
Go is an attempt by the web giant to mix the dynamic, web-friendly attributes of scripting languages like Python with the performance and security benefits of compiled languages like C++.
The move follows similar attempts to gain a foothold in the world of core IT infrastructure, which include the creation of the Android mobile operating system (OS), the Chrome PC browser and the as yet unreleased Chrome OS.
Work on Go actually started two years ago, but it was only last year that it was assigned a dedicated full-time development team.
