They didn't. A lot of people out there are using Go very effectively and
thoroughly enjoying it. True it is a language by Google for Google, but it has
massive traction outside Goog

Honestly, there's a lot of truth to this. People can certainly learn, of

For local variables, it's not an unalloyed good, but it is good.
When I use Java, everything is explicit, and sometimes that's
nice. In D, I think I overuse `auto` for local variables.

I'm a die-hard static typing fan, hate dynamic languages, heck I
dont even like structural typing (ex, as used by D ranges). And
that's exactly why I *love* auto. It lets you have static typing
without turning programming into a 2000's-era C++/Java-style
royal anti-DRY PITA.
