"Nobody is smart enough to optimize for everything, nor to anticipate all the uses to which their software might be put." -- Eric Raymond, _The Art of Unix Programming_
Go's primary niche is server software, and in that niche, it is gaining in popularity and has the backing of a large company. For servers, neither support for a 32-bit address space nor real-time support is important.
Does support for generics really matter when the language has built-in support for the most common collection types?
The allowance of shared mutable memory between goroutines does worry me somewhat.
