Google's Go Has Been Called To Go Into GCC 4.6

Google's Ian Lance Taylor has initiated a discussion on the GCC mailing list about merging the Go front-end into the mainline code-base for the GNU Compiler Collection. In January of this year the GCC steering committee approved the Go programming language for integration into GCC (e-mail message), but it didn't happen for GCC 4.5, except now it looks like it might happen with GCC 4.6.
Ian of Google, who will be the GCC Go manager, is wanting to push this code into GCC 4.6 as it's in a state almost ready to be merged -- there's just a few Go-specific things to take care of still.
GCC 4.6 should be released sometime in 2011.
