I agree with this 100% Who would adopt a NEW google-ism at this point?

  Is C an "ATT-ism"?

    I keep looking for IEEE or ISO spec for Go and not finding it. I keep looking for alternative compilers and can't find any. Is there a defined standard library that you can count on for the next decade? Maybe in 15 years when Go has outgrown its lock-in it may be worth considering. At this point signing on with google is like playing russian roulette.

      > I keep looking for alternative compilers and can't find any. Really??? How long did you look? I call bullshit; you did not look. GCC is an alternative compiler. Go away troll.

        gccgo is still from the same google-owned go project. I'll gladly go away, fanboy.

        It is a first class member of GCC, under the GNU project. There are no possible concerns. I challenge you to attempt to articulate even one. No vague "google pulls the plug" statements, articulate a specific concern. Try it. You idiot crybabies, seemingly primarily people who got butthurt at having their hosted RSS reader pulled out from under them, never can. You are either a troll or an idiot. Actually, I'm leaning towards both.

        gcc is owned by Google? Someone should tell the gcc folks and Richard Stallman that.

If you have gcc installed, you can build the Go compiler from source and that build process is really trivial. So you have the source code for the compiler and source code for the standard library and the source code for any package you might decide to use. Now obviously you'd need to build a pilot to test all of these those components. But other than the risk of that pilot not working as expected, where else is there a risk and how is that different to any other technology?
