The Go programming language is an open source project to make programmers more productive. Go is expressive, concise, clean, and efficient. Its concurrency mechanisms make it easy to write programs that get the most out of multicore and networked machines, while its novel type system enables flexible and modular program construction. Go compiles quickly to machine code yet has the convenience of garbage collection and the power of run-time reflection. It's a fast, statically typed, compiled language that feels like a dynamically typed, interpreted language

1:26 Thomas Messerschmidt gave a demonstration of the work that he has been doing on creating a voice I/O artificial intelligence entity. His code runs via Padorabots.com. He calls his A.I. entity "Stu" the student. He said that he had to buy and use Dragon Naturally Speaking to improve the speech recognition.
He also says that he is writing an AI interpreter to replace the ALICE A.I./chatbot engine
