+The Go programming language is an open source project to make programmers more
+productive. 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.
+
+The tools are added to the path by putting go.sh and go.csh files in
+/etc/profile.d and letting the system's /etc/profile or /etc/csh.login pick it
+up. If you want to add any of Go's environment variables you can add them
+there. \ No newline at end of file
