There is a thread now on the Go user forum about GoF design

Reading the comments by Robert Pike (the Go lead developer) is
insightful. Here is one of them:
"A concrete example: The Visitor Pattern.
This is a clever, subtle pattern that uses subtype inheritance to
implement a type switch.
Go has type switches, and therefore no need for the Visitor
Pattern."
With type switches he means a case switch on types, see
http://golang.org/doc/effective_go.html#type_switch
In other words, Go and OOP: Abandon all Hope! From my side the
"Go vs D MQTT thing" is closed. Go will never develop into any
thing than C in a modern disguise.
Maybe I now hi-jacked the thread another time. Sorry, but
couldn't resist. At least I did resist to post a reply in that
thread on the Go user forum. I think it would be plain useless ...
