> I think that people who point out all of the things that Go doesn't have and Go doesn't support misunderstand the language This is the argument that's always thrown out. The OP obviously understands the language very well. Saying someone just "doesn't understand" belittles those that are voicing genuine criticisms. A language shouldn't be based solely around ideology.

> A language shouldn't be based solely around ideology. I don't want to get too philosophical, but aren't all languages ideological to some degree? Certainly somebody who always chooses to write Clojure over Java has some strong beliefs about how code should be structured and behave. Go's is just another philosophy borne out of frustrations with "features" of other langs.
