"Go at Google: Language Design in the Service of Software Engineering". Google, Inc. "There is one important caveat: Go is not purely memory safe in the presence of concurrency." Rule 2 ( the ko rule) states that the stones on the board must never repeat a previous position of stones. Moves which would do so are forbidden, and thus only moves elsewhere on the board are permitted that turn. To demonstrate this in practice, we’ll build the service in small steps, making a mess along the way and then cleaning it up again. As we progress through our Go programming tutorial, we’ll encounter lots of cool Go language features, including:

World War II put a stop to most Go activity, since it was a popular game in Japan, but after the war, Go continued to spread. [94] For most of the 20th century, the Japan Go Association (Nihon Ki-in) played a leading role in spreading Go outside East Asia by publishing the English-language magazine Go Review in the 1960s, establishing Go centers in the U.S., Europe and South America, and often sending professional teachers on tour to Western nations. [95] Internationally, the game had been commonly known since the start of the twentieth century by its shortened Japanese name, and terms for common Go concepts are derived from their Japanese pronunciation.Griesemer, Robert; Pike, Rob; Thompson, Ken; Taylor, Ian; Cox, Russ; Kim, Jini; Langley, Adam.

This means there’s less to keep up on-premises, which lowers costs. One popular cloud service is Google Cloud, which is built on Go and offers scalability and high performance. Other cloud services use Go as well, including Dropbox and SendGrid.

We could have made our commands channel take *pointers* to commands (`chan *TransactionCommand`). Why didn't we? Astels, Dave (November 9, 2009). "Ready, Set, Go!". engineyard.

A 2011 evaluation of the language and its gc implementation in comparison to C++ ( GCC), Java and Scala by a Google engineer found: Go is influenced by C (especially the Plan 9 dialect [47] [ failed verification– see discussion]), but with an emphasis on greater simplicity and safety.

[28] [29] Go is widely used in production at Google [30] and in many other organizations and open-source projects.

After the end of the Tokugawa shogunate and the Meiji Restoration period, the Go houses slowly disappeared, and in 1924, the Nihon Ki-in (Japanese Go Association) was formed. Top players from this period often played newspaper-sponsored matches of 2–10 games. [113] Of special note are the (Chinese-born) player Go Seigen (Chinese: Wu Qingyuan), who scored 80% in these matches and beat down most of his opponents to inferior handicaps, [114] and Minoru Kitani, who dominated matches in the early 1930s. [115] These two players are also recognized for their groundbreaking work on new opening theory ( Shinfuseki). [116]

Manners and etiquette are extensively discussed in 'The Classic of WeiQi in Thirteen Chapters', a Song dynasty manual to the game. Apart from the points above it also points to the need to remain calm and honorable, in maintaining posture, and knowing the key specialised terms, such as titles of common formations. Generally speaking, much attention is paid to the etiquette of playing, as much as to winning or actual game technique. Tournament and match rules deal with factors that may influence the game but are not part of the actual rules of play. Such rules may differ between events. Rules that influence the game include: the setting of compensation points ( komi), handicap, and time control parameters. Rules that do not generally influence the game are the tournament system, pairing strategies, and placement criteria.
