Wrote a rather basic tutorial on how to install Go on your server

[Kavoir]

Read it here: http://www.kavoir.com/2009/12/how-to...-your-vps.html

It's particularly for Debian Lenny, the steps should be almost identical on other distributions though. Rather than "aptitude", you will need to use "apt-get" or "yum" instead. After installation you can test it by writing a hello world program following the tutorial at the official site:

package main
import "fmt"
func main() {
  fmt.Printf("Hello, world!\n")
}

Simple and sweet, huh

There are some more in-depth instructions on installing Go at the official site that you may want to check out.

Well, turns out it's not as easy to learn as PHP. It's a complete redesign of C / C++ for systems programming.
