Yet Go still remains as syntax clunky/ugly as ever.

  For syntax, ugly yet familiar is more successful than obscure yet beautiful nine times out of ten.

    How can you possibly substantiate that statement?
    • jacquesm 17y ago
      java:lisp

        perl:python Hey this is fun! Now you do one again.
        • zach 17y ago
          Please. Python is so wildly C-like that it uses zero/non-zero for conditions.

            You're either being willfully ignorant or insincere now. Allowing non-boolean values in boolean clauses originated with lisp back in 1960. Furthermore, GvR is on the record as saying that his main influence for python was ABC.
