Google hosting Go on GitHub. Microsoft hosting .NET on GitHub. It must feel like an accomplishment to be implicitly endorsed by these companies.

Now we just need Apple's Objective C / Swift to move to github. :) Sorry, not going to happen. :(

Don't they have a mirror of the compiler on github?

https://github.com/llvm-mirror/clang

Swift hasn't been included but objective c is there.

I'm really curious to give Gerrit a try. Is it like the existing Rietveld system used for Go? - I've been using the "apply mail" flow to avoid merge commits and to squash commits when appropriate (based on Nathaniel Talbott's post http://blog.spreedly.com/author/ntalbott/#.VGVhz5PF_Zs ). It will be nice to have something automatic. - At least contributors with the commit bit can just create a feature branch and a pul…

We're going to build a bot that replies to pull requests to the Go core. It'll say "Sorry, we don't take pull requests, but here's how to use Gerrit [link]. Thanks!"

Smart!

I think this is Google quietly admitting that Google Code is all but dead. They will not completely get rid of it, but I would not be surprised if they switch it to read only mode sometime soon. This is a momentous move for Github, especially with Microsoft moving .NET to Github as well. As someone who loves Github immensely, this makes me happy knowing that my favourite service is going to be around for a very long…

Admitting Code is going nowhere, and seemingly for the first time in living memory, playing geek marketing catch-up with Microsoft :) I really love the new MS.

What problems have the lack of generics caused you in development?

I think the right way to think about that is: "what solutions has lack of generics prevented me from writing?". From the expressive end of the power continuum, Go is way down there (somewhere below Blub probably). http://www.paulgraham.com/avg.html

What solutions have lack of generics (in Go) prevented you from writing?

Use go for a few month, loving it. but I miss not having exception compare to Python.

Is the golang spec still tightly controlled by 3 wisemen in Google and no feature is allowed to add to the language without all three in total agreement?

BTW, I like 98% of their language decide choices and absolutely LOVE the compilation speed of the program.

I agree. I almost think the name GitHub is unfortunate at this point: they're doing something so right they could nearly invent their own VCS, use ESR's new tool, or even switch to hg/darcs/etc, and still gain momentum. The Go community seems to be hopping onto a fairly heavy pendulum.

Moving to git is great, moving to github can be terrible for some projects that are more collaborative, as if you want to change someones PR you cannot..

You can makes changes to a PR that you didn't open. If you want to change the title, edit/delete comments, close the PR, assign a person or labels then you'll need the proper permissions. If you want to make changes to the code you'll need to have push access to the same repo (which is usually the case if you're on the same team because then you don't need to use forks). Otherwise you can always amend the commit(s) b…

Better still you can fork the PR and open a PR to the PR :)

As someone has already mentioned Google already has stuff on Github.

Dart: https://github.com/dart-lang

And lots of other stuff:
