Re: Go Programming Environment Offered (?)

["Weimin Xiao" <ranxiao@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I did not see the reluctancy is caused by C++. C++ has everything Java has
on 'Interface'. C++ program runs at least ten times faster than a Java
application under JVM through Java is excellent on platform independency.

The only problem is the interface definition so people will like to use the
existing classes or plug their classes into the 'environment'. This will be
true even using Java.

I honestly believe that our reluctancy to use other peoples stuff is
a flaw in C++, rather than anything else. Java has a neat abstraction
in the Interface concept. What we want is a clean, simple API not
constrained to any particular language or environment. I mean, just
because one is programming in a certain language, it doesn't mean one
have to think in that language.
