Go was designed by some of the most gifted engineers of our time. In particular, Rob Pike, and Ken Thompson had been working in distributed system for more than 40 years, and before Google they worked for one of the most renewed research facilities in the whole world.

Murray Hill gathered together people focused on solving real problems for the most distributed industry in the last 150 years. They had the opportunity to witness technologies and solutions that worked. And I quite sure that they suffer those that doesn’t.

From my humble point of view, Go is a compromise of what works in real life, the first time I see the go compiler, I traced it back to the good things of Limbo, C, object oriented programming and the adding of a simple syntax to create CSP concurrency made it a killer application.
