I jumped into Go bandwagon early on, even tried to do some initial contributions. Mostly because Go has an Oberon feel to it. A GC enabled systems programming language I used for a while in the mid-90's.

However, I quickly became disappointed with Go's spartan design, given my broad experience across languages and paradigms.

That is why somehow I feel it is more indicated for C developers, that could live with a GC enabled language.

As they would mostly getting type safety and a few more features, whereas developers from other languages are mostly giving away features.
