go already targets arm, android can't be too far away.

The ARM support wasn't working the last time I tried it, unfortunately, but hopefully it'll get there.

Also Brad Fitzpatrick (of LiveJournal and memcached fame) recently moved from the Android team to the Go team.

Go on Android should be quite cool, but what will be awesome is Go on AppEngine.

yeah I noticed him on the team. The core team has some amazing people on it, including famous people Rob Pike (Bell Labs unix/plan 9 guy) and Brad. I think that's a good sign that google are quite ambitious about the language :)

It is an amazing team, but the rest pales beside ken ('Unix guy' doesn't begin to do him justice).

Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to downplay his achievements - The guy is a legend.

I'm British. I was being understated :)

I hope that's the "surprise" Andrew mentioned on twitter: > http://twitter.com/#!/go_nuts/status/63762141555064832

I hope so, in the mean time there is this issue in the AppEngine tracker:

Back in February on the dev list Rob said something about "...until the App Engine stuff is out." For some reason this email doesn't appear in the archive, but I'm definitely looking at it in my inbox right now.

It did and still does make me wonder, though.
