This package provides various tools for the go programming language:
* godoc - extracts and generates documentation for go programs
* gofix - upgrade go programs to the most recent release
* gofmt - formats go programs
* goinstall - automatic package installation
* gotry - evaluate expressions on the command line
* govet - simple checking of go source code
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.

go is an experiment. we hope adventurous users will give it a try and see if they enjoy it. not every programmer will, but we hope enough will find satisfaction in the approach it offers to justify further development. the language can (and still does) change between stable releases, check http://golang.org/doc/devel/release.html before upgrading this package.
