Given that all variables have to be explicitly typed (as far as I can remember), I thought it would be even easier to do something like Haskell type classes! So if you see a == b == would map to a function depending on which type clas a & b's type belongs to. But this is all idle speculation and I am sure I am missing something fundamental. > As Russ said, there's more new in Go than many observers seem to > realize. The language looks much more traditional than it really is. Agreed. Go seems like a very nice language. In a sense everything has been done before but a good combination of features can still be quite eye opening and provide a pleasing, easy to use environment [Though I still prefer Scheme :-)]
