Wow!
The denunciations were virultent enough 46 years ago, and now we actually have C to compare to and find the := syntax lacking.
1970 - Niklaus Wirth creates Pascal, a procedural language. Critics immediately denounce Pascal because it uses "x := x + y" syntax instead of the more familiar C-like "x = x + y". This criticism happens in spite of the fact that C has not yet been invented.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Can't say I'll be using Go at all, but a quick search says := isn't an assignment operator. It's a declaration operator, it might look like one but that's only because you can initialize a variable while declaring it.
name := "John"
Is just syntactic sugar for...
var name string
name = "John"

I thought that might be the case. Still, makes me wonder why the syntax can't use =. Seems odd that the declaration with assignment needs a different syntax, though I suppose it prevents re-declaring with a different type by making it clear that it's a declaration.
Oh well, one can argue these things until the cows come home and are turned into hamburger.

I can't see how Go solves the three-requirement problem... Hint: ease of programming...

It doesn't, but apparently you're not cool as a tech company these days unless you have your own programming language. Google just wanted in on the party.

I would have taken that article more seriously if it actually showed some Go. It reads more like a fanboi page for the inventors of the language and leaves me with the impression he doesn't know that much about the language itself.

When using a search engine as popular and trusted as Google, you probably don't think twice about the safety of the domain. Curse you, Unicode!

Ok, but that mashable site is the _worst_ ever! Ugh! all the video playing off screen and ads and everything. Could barely get to the actual content.

OK, updated to the BGR version of the story.

Office Depot and its sister retailer OfficeMax have stopped using a technically dubious piece of malware-scanning software after two news services caught the stores recommending costly fixes for PC infections that didn't exist. With some of the bloatware out there, they could have been right

Here are some bad habits that even experienced teams can get into which will severely affect your end product—more than any static code checker or development methodology could rescue it from. It seemed like a good idea at the time?
