It filters out *all* contributors who are not in the 'more experienced' set. It allows that few who are already more experienced to *write* faster, but every man-second gained at writing is then lost and negated just at second read (i.e. peer review). Also, with 'feature rich' languages a man-hour gain for one experienced programmer easily becomes a whole-team-week lost at first debug session. > However, I don't think the inspiration should be C#, Java or C++.

On contrary I am happy to dismiss horrors of hours of digging in huge pile of sources just to grasp how clever and experienced my predecessor was. With go almost everything written by others is clear and in sight. What is not right in sight is a single incantation of go doc away. -- Wojciech S.
