Go is the Paris Hilton of programming languages. They keep getting buzz
and
attention not because of having ever demonstrated real merit, which they
haven't, but because of being associated with recognizable names. Famous
just simply for being famous. Pretty much the whole world has realized
how
useless they are, but they keep getting attention anyway.
Sadly it is true, programmers no better, popularity means a lot.
Which brings also many positive things like tools, support, growth...
I remember another language backed up with again a big company, they'll
eventually get to that level and that is it.
Though i hope they come up with something good at the end, which is by the
look of the start and a few princibles, unlikely.
