That's a curious example. In my circles, Go is viewed as a very plebeian language.

Go is a practical language. It's for getting things done in (large and often changing?) teams. It didn't strike me as a language for people who are ambitious about improving their computer programming skills. Lisp, Haskell, Prolog, whatever J/K/APL... those always seemed to me like languages for the ambitious.
