Why can't people love Go not because of Google, but the language itself?

Don't be deceived by your hate towards any specific company, otherwise you will miss a lot of beautiful, useful, adorable things in this world.

I do actually. Google isn't a company I'm to happy about these days, but I do like that they're spending at least some of the money earned from the advertising business on funding projects like Go.

Go isn't a language I've used in production, but it's something I'm playing around with. I really like the standard library, there's a few thing ( like variable assignment ) that just wrong, but overall it's really a fun language.

The main feature I really really want to make use of is the statically compiled binaries. Deployment just becomes so much easier compared to pretty much anything.
