> .. anti-lisp .. So is Scala. Meaningless. > .. anti-unix Actually, the issue is precisely that Rob and team are entirely too comfortable on _nix, so there is a (typical for Go) duality where (L) language is syntactically light and semantically small, (R) *nix is your IDE and piping source through source level transformers are assumed to be 2nd nature to the user. [p.s.]: (L) is motivated by making another work-day tool for the broadest range of developers and experience levels, and (R) possibly emerged as a de-facto approach given the zippy compiler and source level parsers built into the Std. lib, and comfort at that level is a virtue of a much smaller set of developers that map into (L).
