OT: Any interest in the "Google Go" project here?

Jacob (and list):

I dropped your name on the golang.org mailing list as someone who has
quite a bit of experience with the win32 compiler infrastructure.

Might you (or others) be interested in this new language?

I've been in the *NIX world for so long now that I don't have much to
offer on this, but there have been lots of requests for a win32 (or
64) version of this tool.

If this is too off-topic for lcc, please disregard this post as noise.

Best regards,

This is from the faq

http://golang.org/doc/go_faq.html

-----------------------
Why doesn't Go run on Windows?

We understand that a significant fraction of computers in the world run
Windows and it would be great if those computers could run Go programs.
However, the Go team is small and we don't have the resources to do a
Windows port at the moment. We would be more than willing to answer
questions and offer advice to anyone willing to develop a Windows version.

That is precisely the problem...

I would work for Google, of course. But for free?

I've no idea, however I do know it is open source or will be soon.

Jacob,

I'm sorry if it sounded like I expected you to do a lot of work for
free.

I'm not a google employee nor do I represent google in any way, but if
you're interested in something like this, I'd contact Russ Cox or Rob
Pike at google.
