+<p>
+The Go programming language is an open source project to make programmers more
+productive.
+</p>
<p>
-If you're new to Go, we recommend you work through the
-<a href="go_tutorial.html">tutorial</a>. The
-<a href="go_spec.html">language specification</a> has all the details should
-you want to explore.
+Go is expressive, concise, clean, and efficient. Its concurrency
+mechanisms make it easy to write programs that get the most out of multicore
+and networked machines, while its novel type system enables flexible and
+modular program construction. Go compiles quickly to machine code yet has the
+convenience of garbage collection and the power of run-time reflection. It's a
+fast, statically typed, compiled language that feels like a dynamically typed,
+interpreted language.

methods and interfaces; and the third introduces Go's concurrency primitives.
Each section concludes with a few exercises so you can practice what you've

-Go’s approach to concurrency differs from that of many languages, even those
