"Go is mostly in the C family (basic syntax), with significant input from the Pascal/Modula/Oberon family (declarations, packages), plus some ideas from languages inspired by Tony Hoare's CSP, such as Newsqueak and Limbo (concurrency)" In the entire FAQ the word "Python" is just mentioned once. The Python line seems to be a marketing thing to me. Also this line is funny. "The company says that Go is experimental, and that it combines the performance and security benefits associated with using a compiled language like C++ with the speed of a dynamic language like Python" Heh, speed of Python and security of C++ ? I thought it should be the other way around!
