It's open +source, under nearly 4 years of active development, and extremely flexible.

I'll compare some of my design decisions with those of two +other Go compiler/translators that build on the go.tools library. My aim is to +encourage you to try one of these new 'mutant' Go compilers. I hope some of you +will be inspired to contribute to one of them or even to write a new one of +your own." + +.iframe http://www.youtube.com/embed/Qe8Dq7V3hXY 310 550 + +* More + +There were many more great talks, so please check out the complete series +[[http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtLJO5JKE5YDKG4WcaNts3IVZqhDmmuBH][as a YouTube playlist]]. +In particular, the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwpI5ONWGxc&list=PLtLJO5JKE5YDKG4WcaNts3IVZqhDmmuBH&index=7][lightning talks]] were a lot of fun. + +I would like to give my personal thanks to the excellent speakers, Mathieu +Lonjaret for managing the video gear, and to the FOSDEM staff for making all +this possible. + |
