I just started playing with go a week ago and I'm liking it so far, it feels so light and the Donovan & Kernighan book helps a lot.

However, even as a beginner go feels like lacking in a lot of ways that I'm not going to go into.
It always amuse me the discussions about "we made go while waiting for a C++ project to compile" and how they target C and C++ when designing go. In real life, nobody from C and C++ is interested with go at all, people come to go from python, java, javascript... and that's a shame.

I'm very new go go, will try to keep on but again, outside of web stuff I don't think that go is the language that will power the 21st century!

Yeah, it was kind of a weird revelation when the industry saw who was actually interested in Go. Which is totally fine, honestly. Give it more than a week, and you may think more of it!
