I quoted the same paragraph, and I'd be interested to know how much people think it applies to other languages. Obviously there are languages using whole other paradigms that you would struggle immensely in, try writing Prolog like Java! But I wonder if the "Go mindset" is really any stronger than the "Ruby/erlang/lisp mindset" - or whether it's just the proximity of Go's appearance to C,C++,Java that causes new Go programmers to try to port incompatible idioms.
