My favorite side-effect of releasing this is that now there's a dead simple way for people to try Go. Just unzip the SDK and point the dev appserver at your code. No manual compilation necessary. No need to build the tool chain. Yay!
"One of the cool but less obvious things about this news is that it provides a very easy way to play with Go. You don’t even need to have Go installed beforehand because the SDK is fully self-contained. Just download the SDK, unzip it, and start coding. Moreover, the SDK’s “dev app server” means you don’t even need to run the compiler yourself; everything is delightfully automatic."
