Go confirmed for retards
>The key point here is our programmers are Googlers, they’re not researchers. They’re typically, fairly young, fresh out of school, probably learned Java, maybe learned C or C++, probably learned Python. They’re not capable of understanding a brilliant language but we want to use them to build good software. So, the language that we give them has to be easy for them to understand and easy to adopt. -- Rob Pike

Go is pretty neat. You aught to try it Anon. It will only take you two hours to learn it and to begin getting productive with it.
Even if you end up tossing the sodding language soon afterwards, you can still take away some ideas that you can try to apply to your regular programming activities.
Seriously, it takes about 2 hours to get productive in it, and there's isn't a terrible amount to learn.
>>54969873
not really a bad idea.

I don't get it. Is he saying that just because they are right out of school with little knowledge, that instead of letting them learn through experience to just give them an easy language and never challenge them?
Pretty arrogant.
Actually, Go is one of the better-designed languages (aside from some minor idiosyncrasies) I've used.
Uncomfortable truth: the only people who complain about Go are the people who can't get over themselves long enough to write a decent-sized project in it.
So uh, what's wrong with getting unskilled people to write good software?

Implying Rob Pike can.
