In the excellent GOPL book [1], there's a part called "The Origins of Go" in the Preface that lists languages which had an influence on Go (there's an accompanying diagram). You can see this part of the book (including the aforementioned diagram) in the official sample at [2] (page xii).

The languages are: ALGOL 60, Pascal, Modula-2, Oberon, Object Oberon, Oberon-2, CSP, Squeak, Newsqueak, Alef, and C.

Thanks for the information, But is the book still relevant today? Since Go has relatively very fast iteration cycle it now has lot more tricks than it did in 2015; Some of them default to other programming languages like 'sort'.
