  Go: software engineering at Google is too inefficient.

  Or rather: C++ & friends suck, Python & friends are too slow. Quoting from the Go FAQ: >Go was born out of frustration with existing languages and environments for systems programming. Programming had become too difficult and the choice of languages was partly to blame. One had to choose either efficient compilation, efficient execution, or ease of programming [...] >Go is an attempt to combine the ease of programming of an interpreted, dynamically typed language with the efficiency and safety of a statically typed, compiled language. It also aims to be modern, with support for networked and multicore computing.
