  * Their implementation sucks so much that most decently built
    concurrency implementation will beat Go-routines by a wide
    margin. Just have a look at all those people on the Go mailing
    list whining about the scheduler. Not even talking about the
    fact that building concurrency mechanisms into the language is
    plain stupid. We all saw how well that worked out in plenty of
    other languages before.
  * You know why pretty much no one uses structural typing?
    It's not because the “brilliant” designers of Go “invented” it,
    it's because most language designers realized that it is a poor
    idea before shipping the language. I think it is pretty telling
    that in languages which support both nominal and structural
    typing pretty much nobody is using structural typing.
  * I'm not seeing how a language which requires passing around
    void* pointers in every data-structure and casting at pretty
    much every corner can be considered memory efficient.
  * Hard-coding collection classes with special cased syntax into
    the language, so that everyone who needs to have something
    slightly different is completely fucked ... what is this? 1980?
  * Their packaging system is an unmitigated failure. Nuff' said.
  * Do they have a working Unicode implementation yet (I mean more
    than the “We use UTF8 for strings ... which is like 0.5% of
    what Unicode is about”)? What about (Big)Decimal? A working
    date/calendar abstraction which isn't a terrible joke?
