You're right of course but what I meant was what it's like to actually type the code in and read other code more than the rest of the rant which is about tooling. In many ways saying "Go is like JDK 1.4" is a compliment as JDK 1.4 was older than Golang is now.

I'm working with Golang every day now and the ONLY reason I'm using it is its CSP concurrency model, which is still way behind what Clojure's core.async can do.
