+The goal of this project is to make the [Google Go programming
+language](http://golang.org/) available on GNU/Hurd in its [[GCC]] *gccgo*
+implementation.
+
+Presumably less work will be needed on the language's frontend itself, but
+rather on the supporting libraries.
+
+Apart from a solid knowledge of the [[POSIX]] API, working knowledge of the
+Google Go programming language is a must.  Some Hurd knowledge will have to be
+acquired while working on the project.
+
+Possible mentors: Ian Lance Taylor: gccgo bits, [[Thomas Schwinge
+(tschwinge)|tschwinge]]: Hurd bits.
+
+Exercise: Fix one of the problems preventing *gccgo* from working on the Hurd.

 modify/extend the system's functionality ([[extensible_system|extensibility]]).

 Perl and Python are available on the Hurd, but there are quite a lot of test suite
 failures. These could be caused by problems in the system-specific
 implementation bits of Perl/Python, and/or shortcomings in the actual system
