Bizarre that the HN audience are self selecting articles like these with their upvotes. How many more introductory blog posts on Go do we need?

Specially if they tend to ignore most Go features were already available in the Pascal/Modula/Oberon language family.

They might be new features for all script kids seeing a strong typed compiled language for the first time, but for us old timers, it is a repeating deja-vu.

Articles with titles containing 'Go' seem to get upvotes simply for including the magic word.

Indeed. Go is awesome, but this article is not. If you seek to learn more about Go, try http://tour.golang.org/#1

This article may not be as interactive as the tour, but I do think it's still a good introduction to the language, written by a Google employee.
