F# and Go compared to Java : A breadth-first search and survey comparison of F# and Go vs Java

Abstract: This report follows the Bachelor exam specifications of the 6 credit version of the DD143X courseat the Royal Institute of Technology from 2012 and was revised and restructured by JohanLindeberg in April 2015. In this report we have explored the two up and coming languages Goand F# and made comparisons to the already established language Java. In the first part of thereport we go through the syntax of the languages and present the results from a survey on codereadability. In the second part of the report we present results from a benchmark of a breadthfirstsearch algorithm. A conclusion is reached that Go has a higher chance of impacting andcompete with well-established languages such as Java.
