why the fuck would anyone use GO?

Its 2x slower than javascript, yet the syntax is even shittier http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u32/benchmark.php?test=all&lang=go&lang2=v8

has no polymorphism http://golangtutorials.blogspot.com/2011/06/polymorphism-in-go.html

shit libraries https://github.com/languages/Go

every language is getting more functional. lambdas/listcomps/generators and infinite lists are being added to languages like C++/javascript/python, while go eschews every advance in language design since 1960

More proof why you shouldn't use Go: Rob Pike is an Apple weenie who had to call in tech support to change his hard disk and couldn't get it to turn on afterwards.
