I don’t understand the comparison to Haskell or Ocaml; those languages are not C like and have a much different philosophy on the responsibilities of the language and type system.
- 0815test 7y agoHaskell is not C like? You can write Haskell with curly brackets and semicolons, just like Go! I rest my case. No, but seriously, you didn't get what I was saying there. The whole reason Go might be of interest is that it is loosely C-like in a way that Haskell and Ocaml are not.

- mattnewton 7y agoThat true, and I still don’t get what you are saying here. In my mind, they are different languages which appeal to different developers and fit with different requirements. I don’t see it as an alternative to Haskell any more than any Turing-complete language is technically an alternative.
