If the author thinks that Go is a "tried and true" (his words, not mine) language "where programmers can go to look for work", I think he's fooling himself. When I design my new language, I will make sure I choose a name such that any attempt to search for it on job sites will produce oodles and oodles and oodles of false positives, all the better to ensure that simple- minded "top language of ..." surveys will give a massively inflated job count. I think I'll call it "Salary". -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
