Seems to be a common sentiment, but from where I'm standing there are at least a few huge differences between Go and Java: * duck typing * goroutines * channels And some smaller but still important differences: * Very light-weight Public/private distinction * Slices * Objects that embed directly in other objects, not as references * Return-value error handling; only a very restricted form of exceptions
