根據官方網站上的FAQ，這個Project的目的是：

We believe it’s worth trying again with a new language, a concurrent, garbage-collected language with fast compilation. Regarding the points above:

• It is possible to compile a large Go program in a few seconds on a single computer.
• Go provides a model for software construction that makes dependency analysis easy and avoids much of the overhead of C-style include files and libraries.
• Go’s type system has no hierarchy, so no time is spent defining the relationships between types. Also, although Go has static types the language attempts to make types feel lighter weight than in typical OO languages.
• Go is fully garbage-collected and provides fundamental support for concurrent execution and communication.
• By its design, Go proposes an approach for the construction of system software on multicore machines.

從FAQ的說明，Go目前還只是實驗性質的東西，目前尚不適宜作為production使用，但掛著Google的名字總是令人好奇，這個語言的各項特性與未來性如何？或許要看到實際應用後才知道，有興趣的人不妨看看以下影片研究一下吧。

題外話，Google迄今已經擁有了搜尋引擎、Email、網路文書軟體、瀏覽器(chrome)、OS (android)，現在又有了程式語言…。攤開列表，除了Microsoft以外，還真沒有第二家公司跟Google一樣有這麼多產品。戰線拉這麼長卻還不顯疲態，Google真是一家神奇的公司。
