Actually, yes, that's a very good example.
Go uses the C syntax. That is the most known syntax in the world. It's in the same family as C++, Java, C#, and in a different league PHP, Javascript.
That's the kind of VERY IMPORTANT DETAILS that make a language reasonable. Go didn't attempt to throw under the bus a decade of muscle-memory coding.
By comparison, F# or Ruby are total aliens in every regard and not just the syntax, even when compared to the most similar languages.
- arkadiytehgraet 10y agoF# is completely not an alien in any regard, it is basically an SML (a language-predecessor of OCaml/Haskell from 90s) for .Net. I can say in the very same manner that Go is a total alien since it does not use Hindley–Milner type system or higher kinded types and throws under the bus a decade of muscle-memory coding.
