%X Go is a new open\-source programming language from a team of
   Google\[rs]s
developers. It provides a modern
   garbage\-collected runtime that has
particular support for
   concurrency. The pattern for this is based on
Hoare\[rs]s
   CSP, using channels for synchronization and communication,
   and
discouraging the direct sharing of variables. Processes
   are
light\-weight co\-operative threads that the runtime
   time\-slices onto
underlying operating system threads; this
   allows an application\[rs]s
natural concurrency to be
   expressed as fully as needed by the natural
concurrency of
   the application domain.  The presentation provides
   an
overview of Go\[rs]s main features, covering in
   particular the unusual
interfaces and duck\-typing, the
   reflection and the concurrency.
Focussing on concurrency in
   detail, as an example, a simple
web\-crawler application is
   converted step by step to operate
concurrently, and at each
   stage this allows a particular feature of
Go\[rs]s
   concurrency to be demonstrated.
