Re: reddit discussion about Go turns to D again

You are to a certain extent right, but Go is appealing in a few ways. Many Go users are coming from C or scripting languages, so Go is an evolution for them, even if the language is a downgrade from major programming language features. Then many of the developers that are impressed by Go's multic
