Yes, Go has a heavy focus on interfaces and structural subtyping, as I said. It reflects the trend behind Pike's languages: C-like + some form of CSP + key abstraction. But, even the net package has a noticeable Plan 9 legacy, like the use of dial/listen, as opposed to the clumsy Berkeley socket way. You might recall this was a central complaint of Pike's in his famous presentation "Systems Software Research is Irrelevant". Obviously it's nowhere near as pure as ndb, but that's the reality of being in Unix.
