Thanks for this. After reading the article I was able to go to the design document and keep my head above water. Go has a lot going for it, but one underrated aspect is excellent propagation of information about the language. The talks by the likes of Rob Pike and the writing here and elsewhere drives the language in popularity and productivity. We learn the language, true, but we also learn very strong computer science. No wonder people become more productive when they switch to Go! By using it and reading about it, they get better at programming! (I'll grant that this is true of learning new languages in general, but maintain it's especially true with Go...)
