For comparison the c++ looks like this:

    #include <stack>

    stack<T> st;
    st.push(value);
    auto value = st.pop();
I'm struggling to see what's a million times more appealing about the go.

Marketing and hype are the only things it seems. I came to this conclusion after using golang at my current employer, and reading discussions by people online, as well as talking to them in person.
