That's essentially my issue with Go based on the code samples I've seen: no over-arching design sensibility at the syntax level. It looks like an aggolomeration of semi-random C-like syntax. There's nothing that shouts out, "This is a Go program," unlike Python, C, and even Perl. -- Aahz (a...@pythoncraft.com) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ The best way to get information on Usenet is not to ask a question, but to post the wrong information. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
