Trabla: Go: install golang (1.6) on windows

Go (often referred to as golang) is an open source programming language developed at Google in 2007 by Robert Griesemer, Rob Pike, and Ken Thompson. Designed primarily for systems programming, it is a compiled, statically typed language in the tradition of Algol and C, with garbage collection, limited structural typing, memory safety features and CSP-style concurrent programming features added.

The language was announced in November 2009; it is used in some of Google's production systems,[ as well as by other firms. Two major implementations exist: Google's Go compiler, "gc", is developed as open source software and targets various platforms including Linux, OS X, Windows, various BSD and Unix versions, and since 2015 also mobile devices, including smartphones. A second compiler, gccgo, is a GCC frontend. The "gc" toolchain is self-hosting since version 1.5.
