# go Playing with [go](http://golang.org). Late to the party, but it's fun, I think. ## thoughts - *fast* - some level of *type-safety* (just scratched the surface so far) - good *tool support* (fast (!) compilation, the `go` tool itself, fetching libraries built-in, though versioning is missing) - *simple* (mostly, goroutines + no proper sync will bite you, thinking helps, as always) - *pragmatic*, possibly similar to clojure in this respect (which is somewhat surprising to me) - misc * [cross compilation][] is surprisingly painless [cross compilation]: http://dave.cheney.net/2012/09/08/an-introduction-to-cross-compilation-with-go ## qst - run things quickly (and easily) `qst` has already grown up, it now lives [in it's own place](https://github.com/heyLu/qst). You can get it using `go get github.com/heyLu/qst`. intended to be run in unfamilar environments, you pass it a file or a directory and it tries to detect what it is and how to run it. run `qst .` to run anything.
