Go is garbage and it's only popular because Google is behind it.
It has absolutely nothing to do with the language itself.
I don't know if I'd agree that it's garbage - it has a lot of

I would think that dynamic class loading is something that
could be bolted on to C++ (and presumably D as well), albeit
awkwardly.
Dynamic class loading means there is no more link step.

Then there is dynamic class loading. This made things a little

For me those would be superior metaprogramming and ability to
