Go

Back-end services and command-line tools, rendered with Go generics.

How a Program becomes Go, in parts. Start with the introduction, then follow each part into the rendered output and the runtime it links against.

Introduction — what the Go target is, and how to read the rest of this section.
Capabilities — which high-level features are possible, built in or through a library.
Example — a full program using every keyword, and the Go it renders to.
Naming considerations — how Program's dotted names are carried into Go.
Entry point — starting a program from main with its drivers.
Drivers — the native drivers that provide the interface, console and network.
Runtime — the Reactive and Context machinery the rendered code links against.
Native modules — the hand-written Go behind NATIVE functions.
Keywords — how each of Program's keywords renders to Go.
Project setup — the files and commands to build and run the rendered program.
Reserved words — the words Go keeps for itself, and how a colliding name is escaped.
