Google Go is good for concurrent processing (note: not the same as parallel).
I've been taking a very brief look at it recently, and it seems to be a pretty
nice language.

It compiles, so it's much faster than an interpreter. Recent improvements
include much better Windows platform support this year.

Plus, with that awesome logo... why wouldn't you use it? :)

On the serious side, I'll probably look into trying Go for a network server
program when I have some spare time, and see how it fares.

Regards,
