Liam has a point. Go is not attracting attention as it used to do. Go 
ceased to generate news.

Other projects attracts attention by aggregating new features often. So 
there is always a flux of news about the project, news that attracts 
interest, that bring new users to the project. However, that approach 
ultimately leads to disaster. Each new wave of developers want to employ 
the latest and greatest features and after some years you end up with a 
nightmare in form of millions of lines of source code using a plethora of 
competing techniques.

The minimalism in Go is its strength, but few people are mature enough to 
appreciate that. So what now?

I think we need to add a killer feature now and then. Not so often as to 
create a nightmare, but only a few, very sparse. Such a feature would be 
something that is very desirable but utterly difficult to achieve, 
something that only a selected group of the best professionals in the world 
backed by one of the biggest tech companies in the world could make.
