This is exciting. I've used Go-CI (that's what I'm calling it) before and it's a very cool product for pipelining. Kudos to TW for open-sourcing it. Time to get the plugins rolling!

The name gocd has been getting quite a bit of traction on twitter and such, and that's the name of the GitHub repo. Searching for that might be more effective.

As if Google's Go programming language was not already named poorly enough, now somebody creates a CD service called Go. Very confusing!

apparently Thoughtworks has been building the Go continuous delivery tool as a custom product from even before Google made Go! I think the word "GO" hasn't been trademarked yet.

I spent 5 minutes searching for the ".go" code before back-tracking to the project site[1] to verify that it was a Java/JRuby project.

Even if they started the project first, it can't take that long to add 1 line to the readme for clarity.

On their website it says: "Go™ is officially Open Source" [1]. So maybe they trademarked it?

Did the change. https://github.com/gocd/gocd/blob/master/README.md. Hope it helps.

Speaking of golang (go), this slide [0] lists breaking new ground in programming language research as a non-goal. That may include language name research.

Yeah, we did trademark it. Trademark's are pretty narrow - computer language isn't likely to be confused with a CD tool.

Is this for java only? I'd love to use it instead of msdeploy. Does anyone have any experience with such configiration?

I hope this helps- but Go is not a build tool - but a deployment pipeline tool.

Go runs builds on your machines and can call out to various build tools- like Ant, Nant, rake - or if all else fails- the shell. So anything you can run on the command line of your machine (either windows or *nix) can be automated by Snap.
