I feel guilty for not fully participating in the barcampsg4 event, I only listened two topics. After that, I was at the AFA’09 for rest of the time! Even I reached there in the late morning, I consider myself quite early, the queue was very long.

The ticket was $15, quite expensive, compared to the last two Anime Fair I attended. However most of the school kids don’t really care about the price. Especially now is school holiday, people queuing next to me are cosplayers and all are still secondary schools. To them, I’m an uncle already!

Stepping into the hall, the first booth was Bandai. Almost all the Anime show, Bandai will surely be there. They still have their most famous product – Gundam. Just wiki Gundam, you can find the long history of Gundam starting from the 80’s.

I’m not a Gundam fan, I only roughly know that the Gundam action figure have their own grading. From master grade, prefect grade, high grade and etc.

It is not surprise to see Google announced their own programming language, since they already have so many world-best programmers. The features and style of the syntax of this language, just like what Techcrunch mentioned, it is a combinations of Python and C++.

Quoted from their official web site http://golang.org/. GO is said to be simple, fast, safe, concurrent, fun and the most it is open source! It is distributed under a BSD-style license.

An official Go programming video, highlights that the compilation speed of GO. It is really quite terrible compilation waiting time. I was facing the similar in my early career. However, now I’m lucky, my development now is only concern about PHP and Python.
