They had warned that there were updates happening last week; I think this is the after-effect of that.


Personally I've been saddened by Nokia's downfall. I still remember the time I wrote Python code for both S60 and N900 series phones, taught a class about this too... Nokia had some really cool funky tools to work with..

Perhaps W8 will do some wonders; I guess its nostalgia :-(


apparently Thoughtworks has been building the Go continuous delivery tool as a custom product from even before Google made Go! I think the word "GO" hasn't been trademarked yet.


On their website it says: "Go™ is officially Open Source" [1]. So maybe they trademarked it?

Yeah, we did trademark it. Trademark's are pretty narrow - computer language isn't likely to be confused with a CD tool.


I spent 5 minutes searching for the ".go" code before back-tracking to the project site[1] to verify that it was a Java/JRuby project.

Even if they started the project first, it can't take that long to add 1 line to the readme for clarity.

Speaking of golang (go), this slide [0] lists breaking new ground in programming language research as a non-goal. That may include language name research.

got the same email. Pretty targetted spamming and annoying. Good product, SPAM is just pushy.


it could also mean that the project maintainers focus on their day jobs... the way Googlers hardly use their 20% time.


... pretty awesome...hihihihih
