It's not just forthers who are unimpressed with Go...  Go appears
to be an attempt to turn C into 1980's era Pascal.  If you want
Pascal, use Pascal.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_(programming_language)

Go is another C-like language.  That's why Hugh will never accept
it...  It's really not a "My language can beat up your language."
issue as he claims.  That's just one of his standard ruses.

Go is one just more example of a language that is compiled to C,
but this time by a C++ front end called gccgo...  Odd!  That irks
Hugh too.  I've really got to get around to making a list of all
the languages that are compiled to C.  That's probably about 30+
languages.

One of most powerful features of both C and PL/1 is pointers.  A
programming language without pointers and pointer arithmetic is a
bit like a eunuch.  It's missing half the junk needed to get the
full job done.
