I do, but I don't want to shamelessly plug here. My point was not that these ideas are bad. My point was that they are incomplete, and pointing at them as reasons why a new language is so great is absurd -- when in fact Java supports them just as well. I think Go is great, but I think it's great because it gets a large number of details slightly more right than the languages of the previous decade. And it will make its mistakes that languages of the next decade will learn from. SOLID is just the bare minimum ante here. Bragging about SOLID is like bragging that your language supports all kinds of data structures.
