Go compiler can generate Windows executables now

Up until now, the Go compiler only targeted Linux, FreeBSD, Mac, and NativeClient.

A revision committed today makes it possible to produce Windows executables. The revision applies specifically to 8l, the x86 linker.

Ahaa ! The only human readable language is still pascal. So this GO thing will soon go like all C like languages for me

Guys I understand that syntax is a matter of preference, but Go is much more than a syntax. Take a look at the specification and it will blow you away. This language has been designed in 2008/2009, and you can notice. It is so well designed and so flexible that Delphi looks prehistoric by comparison.

Hi Alvaro. I would say you that the crack not works with update 4-5. Why? Thanks in advance for your response....

Hi friend. The Update 4/5 is a re-release of Update 2/3 that changes the licensing scheme. There are no real fixes there. Just ignore it.

Hi Alvaro. You said that the updates 4 and 5 are a re-releases that changes the license scheme but I have read this article from Embarcadero website:

It's true? I don't know what to think....

I read on a Embarcadero blog (can't remember if it was from Nick Hodges or someone else) that the Update 4/5 was a re-release of Update 2/3. The list of fixes that you are seeing is probably copied and pasted from the Update 2/3.

It's a re-release but with a some extrimly important compiler bug fixed. You should update to 4/5 to prevent facing the bugs.

yes the fixes affect both Delphi and C++ Builder.

Thanks for the info. I don't use D2010 but I'm sure that some people will find it useful.
