== Example ==

A hello world program looks like: 

{{{
package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
    fmt.Println("hello world")
}
}}}

To compile and run the program, try:

{{{
go build hello.go
./hello
# or
go run hello.go
}}}

== Installation and Setup ==

Most [[Linux]] and [[BSD]] distributions offer a `go` package.
