Talk descriptions:

Google Go - Tool or Toy
Google Go, the ambitious attempt of Google to develop a compiled language, has resulted in a language that is already in productive use. But why a new language? What is special and what are the characteristics of this product? This talk will both provide you with a short overview of the history of Go as well as the design decisions taken and their technical usage. Let's GO!
