Support Go

[GoogleCodeExporter]

One of the top entries last time was written in Go. Let's make a starter 
package. The compile logic is already in place.

The following is an incomplete starter package, I don't have time to 
participate in the contest, but feel free to use it as you see fit.

Thanks! We will be getting to these really soon, promise! We have just been 
tied up getting the server stable, so the webpage doesn't keep tanking.

Any word on when this will happen? I made a starter package:

It appears that golang is just not installed on the server, and apparantly 
there's a database entry that needs to be made, also.

Anyone have a pointer to an ubuntu hardy package for installing Go?

There is no package, you need mercurial. golang.org has instructions. I could 
probably make a shell script to do it if that would speed things along.

I dunno if contestbot told you or not, but I put a modified script here:

Ok, I think this is almost ready to go. Unfortunately either I have something 
not quite right or there is a bug in the starter package above. When trying to 
compile I get the error:

MyBot.go:96: to pass 'args' as ...interface { }, use 'args...'

Awesome!! You are not doing anything wrong, I need to update the starter 
package-- it's using an older syntax. Actually, I already have it changed at 
home and forgot to put it up. I'm out of town today, I'll put it up tonight or 
tomorrow. Or you can add a ... after the last parameter on that line if you 
want to test it. Either way, thanks a ton!!!

Go is now supported on the server.
