I think of Go as a lovechild of C and Scheme, mainly; I wonder if there's a citation for the claim made about design for preventing damaging programmers.

  You could also assume it as a rip-off of Modula/Oberon.

    As is Acme, a text editor. Pike is like that.

      Interesting, that was new to me. Wirth's work is not the worst source for inspiration of course. I still find the adoption of Go interesting though, considering how limiting Pascal/Modula/Oberon felt to me when leaving them behind.

        It might be because Go is a more defined C variant () but with a very full standard library. : with real capturing closures and garbage collection, as in Scheme
