A comment on Ask HN: Multiprocessing & concurrency: C, Python, Clojure (& Go :))?.

Go promises good concurrency, but you might want to do a bit of research before dedicating much resources to it. Last time I checked, their os threads to goroutines scheduling was a bit wonky.

Though it's entirely possible I screwed something up or missed an important bit.

Go does concurrency well, but it's designed for concurrency on a single machine, not so much parallel processing on many different machines.

Well, I greatly suspect they will add that kind of stuff later, reading blogs about what the long-term goals of the language are. I think Go might be a serious newcomer in that aspect, considering they want it to level with C in performance. However, I don't want to start a g8 discussion (and yes, I don't like the syntax either... :), I'm especially interested in how good the ease of use vs. the performance of these languages compare, as I still use Python and OpenMP for that stuff.
