Is “Google Go” Going to be the Next “C” Language?

Google launched an open-source experimental programming language GO. The language combines the performance and security benefits that we get by using a compiled language like C++ with the speed of a dynamic language like Python. Now a days, libraries are getting bigger due to lots of recent development. Internet, networking and multi-core processing have become the key areas of the latest technology. However, most of the system programming languages have been developed three decades back. That's why they can not serve the purpose of the above mentioned properties.

Although, there are many changes during last decade, but, no major developing language has been developed during that period. That's where Google GO plays a role which is created by Robert Griesemer, Ken Thompson and Rob Pike. This is a dynamic language that has a clean syntax, where you can separate interface and implementation, and Goroutines is based on CSP (Cache Server Pages). Some experienced developers think that it is safer than lock-based Java.
