I've played very little with GO, and it seems to be a nice language overall. Anyway, it's designed to allow easy parallelism. It's a system's language for parallel work. The only thing that I don't like about it is that the built-in types get special treatment (if you want to write a map yourself, you can't use the same syntax). This indeed feels like a design smell. GO is still very useful this way, but I do hope that it gets generics/templates sometime in the future.
