Go is the only hope for the future of the software industry, the only weapon with a chance of killing the abominable mutant monster of C++ and the double-headed zombie of Java/C#. I'm quite picky, and I have yet to see anything I don't like in Go, the people that have designed it were some of the very few that truly understood the spirit of C, and have spent *forty years* thinking about how to perfect it and getting experience building a few replacements (Alef, Limbo, ...), and it shows. Having Go, there is no excuse to write user space code in C ever again; as for kernel space, we will see (specially once they deploy the new concurrent garbage collector), rob said he would like somebody to try building a kernel in Go, this would be fun, and might even produce something quite useful. Enjoy, and if you care about the sanity of the software industry, learn to love Go. uriel P.S.: > And I found a bunch of people that > are not going to convince each other otherwise.
