It's a gimped, obfuscated and immature imitation of D. It's little more than a concurrency-model experiment masquerading as a real language. Also: - As far as I'm concerned, its real name is "Issue 9" (search "google go issue 9"). - It's the Buick/Cadillac/Oldsmobile of computer languages: Garbage that gets attention solely because of the name(s) attached. - Does nothing to change my opinion that Google has done nothing noteworthy outside of search engines and maybe their ad service.
