Your intention was to show the good Go code vs the bad C++ code. The different syntax highlighting colors and the missing error handling code really leave me feeling amiss. My main gripe and reason for not jumping on the Go bandwagon is the

I'm very curious about the VC/Angel probabilities of success. Of the 511 startups, how many bootstrap or above? How many die after the first investment? From the post we know ~2% will grow to a ~billion usd valuation.

Surprisingly it's actually the correct way to render that unicode. It's just a stack of upper diactrics http://jsbin.com/erajer/7/?%E0%B8%81%E0%B9%89%E0%B9%89%E0%B9... as explained in this stackoverflow answer http://stackoverflow.com/qu
