In my mind the major common problem is solved by computer hardware, not by a new programming language. Ordering machine instructions is doable for significant work. My take is we’re mostly worried about art here besides those doing big data collection law enforcement or war applications. Those politics are important but I personally don’t want to view art through that lens, so I’ll assume Go is about art and getting to art. Maybe there will be use in peacefully exploring and exploiting the oceans, moon and other planets, or in safely automating transport, agriculture, and factories, but that kind of work requires rigor that is independent of programming language. Programming computer hardware with explicit if, loops, functions, data structures, and libraries is an art that I think many people might like. What Go brings is less wading through mud than is expected as part of C, Java, or scripting languages. I’m in the “make it popular” camp. I think Go solves the common problem of writing computer programs better than anything else.

But viewing the source code of others is the best way to be able to fix problems and improve skill. I believe in copyright and patent morals and I don’t think the state of Go libraries is completely foolish.
