Walter: The Go Programming Language, or: Why all C-like languages except one suck

Jörg Walter has written a detailed and positive review of the Go programming language. "And as a final note, I have seen a fair amount of criticism of Go on the internet, which I cannot ignore, so here it goes: Most of these people didn't actually look at it. Go is different, even though it still looks kinda-C. It isn't. It's not C++, nor Objective C, and it doesn't try to be! So stop saying 'Who needs Go when we have C++/Objective C?' already. Check out how Go tries to solve the same problems in a radically different way."
