"Go is an attempt to combine the ease of programming of an interpreted, dynamically typed language with the efficiency and safety of a statically typed, compiled language. It also aims to be modern, with support for networked and multicore computing" "To make the stacks small, Go's run-time uses segmented stacks. A newly minted goroutine is given a few kilobytes, which is almost always enough. When it isn't, the run-time allocates (and frees) extension segments automatically" http://golang.org/doc/go_lang_faq.html -- Web mail, POP3, and SMTP http://www.beewyz.com/freeaccounts.php -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
