([Development] Nov 10, 2020 17:36 UTC (Tue) (corbet))


The Go blog [1]celebrates eleven years of Go language development and looks forward to what comes next. " When the pandemic hit, we decided to pause any public announcements or launches in the spring, recognizing that everyone’s attention rightly belonged elsewhere. But we kept working, and one of our team members joined the Apple/Google collaboration on privacy-preserving exposure notifications to support contact tracing efforts all over the world. In May, that group launched the reference backend server, written in Go. "

Against Idleness and Mischief

How doth the little busy bee How skillfully she builds her cell!
Improve each shining hour, How neat she spreads the wax!
And gather honey all the day And labours hard to store it well
From every opening flower! With the sweet food she makes.

In works of labour or of skill In books, or work, or healthful play,
I would be busy too; Let my first years be passed,
For Satan finds some mischief still That I may give for every day
For idle hands to do. Some good account at last.
-- Isaac Watts, 1674-1748
