Description-en: Go programming language - documentation
The Go programming language is an open source project to make
programmers more productive. Go is expressive, concise, clean, and
efficient. Its concurrency mechanisms make it easy to write programs
that get the most out of multicore and networked machines, while its
novel type system enables flexible and modular program construction.
Go compiles quickly to machine code yet has the convenience of
garbage collection and the power of run-time reflection. It's a fast,
statically typed, compiled language that feels like a dynamically
typed, interpreted language.
.
This is a dependency package that depends on the default Go documentation. You
can view the formatted documentation by installing the golang-golang-x-tools
package, running "godoc --http=:6060", and then visiting
http://localhost:6060/doc/install.html.
