Indeed. I think if it didn't have google, or folks like Ken Thompson, it probably wouldn't get the buzz it got. It's an interesting language though. I'm jealous that they're able to specify types without using ':', but it's a little odd reading variable definition like: var foo int = 5; > however Felix is a MUCH more advanced language. > Go doesn't have any polymorphism! Yeah, I don't see too much new stuff they're doing beyond the goroutines and interfaces. For instance, here's a nice written comparison: http://www.cowlark.com/2009-11-15-go/ Seems like it's mostly an attempt to just clean up C, which in my opinion wouldn't be enough to really attract much attention from people. Of course, they've got big names behind it, so they may be able to get over that initial hurdle. It's a shame they didn't just come over and work on felix :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
