Using Golang in Anger! Where is Syntax Consistency? The famous children without adult supervision have done it again!

@niclas what's the problem?
@bonifartius Golang is not to my liking... sometimes commas, sometimes not, sometimes parens are ok, sometimes not. Not to talk about the "import" system, when you fork a GitHub project...gosh!
@niclas it's one of the sanest languages i know, together with tcl. maybe just go through the language specification, it isn't long and after that you know everything regarding syntax ;)
i kind of get the pain of having to rename imports, but that's a price i can pay for no fuck-ups like the python or ruby module systems are.
@bonifartius No, it is not a "sane" language. It is someone getting upset with some other language(s) and "I/we can do better" and just failing in other ways. Typical NIH-syndrome. And probably there will a data mining or advertising engine inside the compiler soon enough ;-)

yeah, thats actually pretty much the idea behind go ;)
