+%description
+    Go is a concurrent garbage-collected system programming language,
+    designed 2007 by Robert Griesemer, Rob Pike and Ken Thompson at
+    Google. 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.
