Go runtime: 4 years later

Depends where someone comes from. If they are from a weakly or dynamically typed language (C, python, Javascript) then Go is quite ok. If you're coming from Haskell, OCaml, or Rust, then sure Go might be frightening.

They're all weakly typed languages but C is statically typed.

Python is generally considered quite strongly typed, though dynamic. That is because Python has relatively few implicit conversions, and especially few that are surprising ("1" + 1 is an error, not 2 or "11"; and unsigned short + unsigned short does not equal a signed int).

I think parent didn't say anything to the contrary, or maybe it was edited?

First iteration was didn't include the part about haskell/ocaml.
