Go's 1.0 release didn't happen until 2012. He started working on ZeroMQ in 2007. Not sure what "spends no time at HN" means. Martin is an unusually excellent software engineer by almost any measure, as evidenced by his years of impactful open-source development - 0MQ being just one example. And Haskell wouldn't make sense for a project like this, only because of some of his goals with the project - which include: to eventually have it integrated in the Linux kernel; to make it easily usable by code in any language; to have it easily and universally cross-platform; etc. (Dang... did I just feed a troll?)
