> Go and Scala have powerful type inference, making explicit type declarations very rare. In C++ and Java everything needs to be declared explicitly.

I guess they forgot about C++11's auto?

And "powerful type inference"? For Go? Doesn't it just do local implicit typing using the RHS type straight as the LHS's?
