That's really what I'm saying.
If they are doing new things with the language then cool.
My knee jerk reaction is caused by learning different languages to do moderate level coding that dominates the field.
Anybody who remembers my Tube script (Tubecgi) remembers that first I wrote it using C and Action Script 2.
Then I wrote it in PERL and now I do PHP.
But I'm still just writing code to show pussies.

everything what you're saying here confirms that you haven't taken a moment of your time to actually READ why they created go.
they didn't even invent new syntax, it's basically C! The whole point of it is that C had issues at the scale they were using it (build times were atrocious, different teams were building concurrency features in different ways, they were in dependency hell, etc)...go was designed to solve the issues they ran into using C at scale.
read the fuckin article I linked you to!
