  Nice article, but calling Go not innovative because it has a C-like syntax is a bit naive.

      There's a shitload of coders who write well. * Kathy Sierra * JWZ * ESR (okay he's a bad coder, but still) * Zed * _Why * The MIT Introduction to Algorithms instructors who clearly spend time making their lectures entertaining as well as informative. * And yeah, most of the staff at Ars: DRY dictates not having seperate markup for the compiler and your colleagues - so yes, in that respect, the unnecessary braces in Go are not innovative.

  Despite the large amount of enthusiasm for language design, modern mainstream programming languages don't fall far from the C tree. The best that Microsoft, Sun, and Apple have to offer are just variations on that theme, with the addition of predictable object models and conveniences like garbage collection. Hey, give MS some credit for F# here! And it's got out of the box support in Visual Studio 2010.
