Comparing "hello worlds" is a fairly poor way of getting an idea of how much complexity/boilerplate you can expect from a language. It's better to compare some

Comparing "hello worlds" is a fairly poor way of getting an idea of how much complexity/boilerplate you can expect from a language. It's better to compare something more substantial, like quicksort implementations: http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Sorting_algorithms/Quicksort#Python http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Sorting_algorithms/Quicksort#Pyt... http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Sorting_algorithms/Quicksort#Go http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Sorting_algorithms/Quicksort#Go
