Re: "I tried out Hare shortly after it was publicly announced..."
but we still have memory related bugs in openssl, modules are just making their way to mainstrean c++ which already made some efforts to fix its problems with precompiled headers before.
so i value those languages and i wouldn't say that go is much better than oberon or modula-3.
i am glad go exists, and to me it is not about google, which doesnt use it much itself, it is more about rob pike: author of many modern innovative tech things including acme text editor inspired of oberon. so if i told someone to try oberon/modula/ada they would thin they never heard about it so they would not try. but they heard about go and learning go doesnt dound very crazy so i tell people to look at go.
