Am I in the minority to think of Go as a completely unnecessary move-along-now-nothing-to-see-here project? (as if we didn't have enough of that already). The only niche I see for it is for those poor souls who are still wasting their time with Python/Ruby but that by itself surely can't lead to great things for the language, especially since it's riding on air. More dense air than Python but air nonetheless.

Also Rob Pike. If there's a guy with the king midas touch of shit, it's Pike.
