From the page: Go is a new programming language from Google that aims for performance that is nearly comparable to C, but with more expressive syntax and faster compilation. What it won't do, however, is liberate the coding masses from bracist tyranny. Google's Go is yet another take on C.

Qt Labs Blogs & Qt/3D features in Qt 4.6

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 15:43:59 -0800

From the page: "For the last year, we have been investigating API�s that Qt needs to support 3D applications and clever 2.5D effects with OpenGL. When we started all this a year ago, the problem was broken down into three main areas:

* Enablers - Basic building blocks like matrices, shaders, vertex buffers, etc.
* Portability API - API�s that make it easier to write code that ports between desktop OpenGL and embedded OpenGL/ES. Particularly OpenGL/ES 2.0 which does not have a fixed function pipeline.
* Real 3D - API�s that take Qt into new application spaces beyond animations and 2D effects.

Obviously that covers a lot of ground, so in this post we will just focus on a few of the Enablers - specifically the ones that made it into 4.6 as the first taste of Qt/3D. In future posts, we�ll publish Qt/3D repository details and show you more of our plans for later Qt/3D releases."
