/prog/s opinion on Go

You know, the google thing.  Personally I'm a bit excited for a compiled python-like C language.  It's going to take for fucking ever for it to become useful, though, especially with google's slow and steady attitude.  I could see it catching on though kind of like python did.

An effects system is an extension to the language, usually in the type system, that statically infers the source and scope of side effects. In a systems programming language like Go, such a feature is ridiculously useful, because not only does it require no runtime overhead, it drastically reduces the number of errors usually attributed to "invisible" changes to state.
