I apologize if you feel my post was "Go is great!"
You shouldn't apologize for the feelings of others. DHowett started us in the wrong direction here with his snark (nothing else, just snark), and now none of the responses in the subthread demonstrate reading comprehension.
Oh, well. It was an interesting perspective. I'd be interested in hearing from you again, after a few months of using Go as the primary language for your exploratory programming. I've been keeping a running list of things that trip me up as I plod along. So far it's mostly that initially I didn't fully grok how interfaces and types and functions work together, so I ended up working around the type system instead of enjoying it. That's slowly changing. It would be fun to compare notes.
