> Go, however, is like a Toyota Corolla or a Honda Civic. The only problem with this argument is that everywhere - even in this thread - there are people saying that Go is a joy to program in. It's not lacking magic, it's magical in its own right. A better car analogy would be that Go is a Lotus Elise. It's nowhere near as powerful as your friend C++'s Mustang or Rusty's McLaren. But to C++ and Rusty's dismay Go's little Elise still gets around a racetrack crazy fast. It may have a smaller engine but it's just taken a really different approach to going fast which works really well. And Go has a much more pleasant time getting to his destination than C++ and Rusty do.
