Will Google Go’s Mascot Gordon The Gopher Wear A G++

What doesn’t Google do?  Still thinking…  Well scratch programming off your list now that Google has created the Go language, which is an experimental language between C++ and Python.  Google describes the programming language as:

Go attempts to combine the development speed of working in a dynamic language like Python with the performance and safety of a compiled language like C or C++. In our experiments with Go to date, typical builds feel instantaneous; even large binaries compile in just a few seconds. And the compiled code runs close to the speed of C. Go is designed to let you move fast.

We’re hoping Go turns out to be a great language for systems programming with support for multi-processing and a fresh and lightweight take on object-oriented design, with some cool features like true closures and reflection.

You can find out more about the language at Golang.  Also, they’ve named Gordon the Gopher as their mascot.  Who is this mysterious Gordon creature?  Will he have a capital G on his cape or even better a G++?
