This is a belated addition to my notes on the Go translation of 
reposurgeon. I'll be adding it to the revised version I post to golang-dev.

One extremely positive thing I must say before closing.  Translation from 
Python, which is a dreadful language to try to do concurrency in due to its 
global interpreter lock, really brought home to me how unobtrusively 
brilliant the Go implementation of Communicating Sequential Processes is.  
The primitives are right and the integration with the rest of the language 
is wonderfully seamless.  The Go port of reposurgeon got some very large 
speedups at an incremental-complexity cost that I found to be astonishingly 
low.  I am impressed both by the power of the CSP part of the design and 
the extreme simplicity and non-fussiness of the interface it presents.  I 
hope it will become a model for how concurrency is managed in future 
languages.
