Actually, Go seems to be more C implemented the way the C developers would have done it if they knew then what they know now. That's not a joke - look at the names on the development team. I haven't a clue how anyone can think it's similar to Python. Or Java, for that matter. John Roth -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
