<h1>History</h1>
<h2>Design started in late 2007.</h2>
<h2>Implementation starting to work mid-2008.</h2>
<h2>Released as an open source project in November 2009.</h2>
<h2>Work continues.<h2>
<h2>Robert&nbsp;Griesemer, Ken&nbsp;Thompson, Rob&nbsp;Pike, Ian&nbsp;Lance&nbsp;Taylor, Russ&nbsp;Cox, many others</h2>

<div class="slide">
<h1>Goals and Motivation</h1>
<h2>Go fast!</h2>
<h2>Make programming fun again.</h2>
<h2>Targeted at systems software, broadly.</h2>
</div>
<div class="slide">
<h1>Why isn't programming fun?</h1>
<div class="incremental">
<h2>Compiled, statically-typed languages (C, C++, Java) require too much typing and too much typing:</h2>
<ul>
<li>verbose, lots of repetition</li>
<li>too much focus on type hierarchy</li>
<li>types get in the way as much as they help</li>
<li>compiles take far too long</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="incremental">
<h2>Dynamic languages (Python, JavaScript) fix these problems (no more types, no more compiler) but introduce others:</h2>
<ul>
<li>errors at run time that should be caught statically</li>
<li>no compilation means slow code</li>
</ul>
</div>
<h2 class="incremental">Can we combine the best of both?</h2>
</div>
<div class="slide">
<h1>Why a new language?</h1>
<div class="incremental">
<h2>No new systems language in 10+ years.</h2>
<h2>Current languages designed before ...</h2>
<h3>... rise of large-scale, networked and multicore computing</h3>
<h3>... rise of Internet-scale distributed development (many libraries)</h3>

<h2>Make the language fast.</h2>
<h2>Make the tools fast.</h2>

<h1>Compilation Demo</h1>
<h2>Build all standard Go packages: ~120,000 lines of code.</h2>
</div>
<div class="slide">
<h1>Go in one slide</h1>
<h2 class="incremental">Lightweight syntax.</h2>
<h2 class="incremental">Static types: enough to compile well, but inferred much of the time.</h2>
<h2 class="incremental">Methods: on any type, orthogonal to type system.</h2>
<h2 class="incremental">Abstract types: interface values, relations inferred statically.</h2>
<h2 class="incremental">Visibility: inferred from case of name.</h2>
<h2 class="incremental">First-class functions.</h2>
<h2 class="incremental">Garbage collection.</h2>
<br/>
<h2 class="incremental">Lightweight feel of a scripting language but compiled.</h2>
