+Go wurde entwickelt um probleme zu lösen. Sie ist zwar nicht der neuste Trend in
+der Informatik, aber sie ist eine der neusten und schnellsten Wege um Aufgabe in
+der realen Welt zu lösen.
+
+Sie hat vertraute Elemente von imperativen Sprachen mit statisher Typisierung
+und kann schnell kompiliert und ausgeführt werden. Verbunden mit leicht zu
+verstehenden Parallelitäts-Konstrukten, um die heute üblichen mehrkern
+Prozessoren optimal nutzen zu können, eignet sich Go äußerst gut für große
+Programmierprojekte.
+
+Außerdem beinhaltet Go eine gut ausgestattete standard bibliothek und hat eine
+aktive community.

+
+The root of all things Go is the [official Go web site](http://golang.org/).
+There you can follow the tutorial, play interactively, and read lots.
+
+The language definition itself is highly recommended.  It's easy to read
+and amazingly short (as language definitions go these days.)
+
+On the reading list for students of Go is the [source code to the standard
+library](http://golang.org/src/pkg/).  Comprehensively documented, it
+demonstrates the best of readable and understandable Go, Go style, and Go
+idioms.  Or you can click on a function name in [the
+documentation](http://golang.org/pkg/) and the source code comes up!
