> Go feels to me like it is trying to combine C and Python.

I think that's accurate, and to me it's a great thing.

I'm currently converting many functions written in Python, to Go. I haven't coded in Python or studied it, but I can read it fine. This exercise has made me a lot more interested in Python! However, I'm confident that for my use case the runtime speed of Go will pay off, even though it's not nearly as simple to code in as Python from the looks of it. I'll use Python (or even PHP) for things where speed isn't such an issue.
