I haven't written anything real in Go yet, but there is a lot of articles about it, and many parts of it do appeal to me. I like how they didn't write another language for the JVM, I like the c inspired syntax, I like the concurrency model they have, etc. It also seems to be getting a lot of praise in web development circles.

But am I the only one that cringes at going back to writing & and * for passing parameters etc. for web development? I know there is sometimes a need for really managing memory but... I'd love a simplistic language built around the ideas of Go (small runtime, fast, type safe, compiled etc.) for building web apps.

Time to download Go source and tinker...
