It also seems to build on a lot of knowledge and gets inspiration from many other languages that did things well. The main selling point about GO, however, is that it compiles 120,000 lines of code in under 8sec!! It is definetly another one to watch. Oh, almost forget. Lets re-write web2py in go! There!
