Go does take the last decade of language design by Pike, Thompson, and Griesemer into account. Mostly Pike as I am not sure if the other two guys even did design some language in this time.

Personally, I consider gofmt the biggest achievement of Go, if it manages to make that mainstream. While there are equivalent tools for C they are not widely used.

Decade which ended 20-odd years ago relative to the rest of the world, kind-of the point.

You mean by designing a language that is basically Alef from Plan9(1992) with a few changes?

Yeah, really actual.

The English term for "actual" is "up-to-date". The English word "actual" means "not imaginary".
