Go is a new, experimental, open-source programming language. It has a succinct, clear syntax, a flexible (static) type system, and built-in concurrency primitives developed by a team at Google led by Rob Pike. Over an hour, Andrew Gerrand from the Go team will provide an overview of Go, explaining why it exists, and what sets it apart from today's popular programming languages.

If you're anywhere in Australia and a Python programmer, check out this conference (sponsored by Google!):
PyCon Australia
Date: June 26-27th
Location: Sydney Masonic Center
Cost: Between $44-$165
Australian Python programming enthusiasts are continuing the global PyCon ("Python Conference") tradition in Sydney.
The first Australian PyCon event is expected to host over 150 Python programming enthusiasts. The weekend will see dozens of presentations on web programming, business applications, game development, science and mathematics, social issues, education, testing, databases, documentation and more.
Unlike formal conferences, PyCons are run by volunteer Python programmers; the users' perspective governs everything from talk selection to conference cost, making an exceptionally worthwhile conference. Participants themselves generate content, which can be as short as a 5 minute Lightning Talk, or as long as a 45-minute "How To" tutorial.
PyCon Australia 2010 will be a great way to meet other enthusiasts, learn new skills, share ideas and establish connections.
The call for proposals will close on April 29th, so act quickly if you're thinking of submitting a talk idea:
