> Why does everything always have to be the latest and greatest thing on earth? To me, Go feels like an old friend that I've been missing for many years. I've always had C and Python, they serve me well, but there was a big gap of uncovered space in between them - you know, when C is too fine a tool for the job, while Python is a bit too "dynamic" - until Go came along. I tried filling that gap with Scala, and while the cleverness of the (most of the) language did have its appeal, eventually I stopped using it, since it was just too much of a tool which got in the way. Go hits the sweetspot. Everything about it screams unix. The toolchain, the speed, the simplicity of the language, the powerful concepts delivered in a dead simple to use way (goroutines/channels)... It's like a breath of fresh air whenever I have to work with Go. Just like C and Python, it's a keeper.
