Whoops. That's where you lost me.

Fair enough. I certainly agree that Go is an excellent language for people incapable of doing basic stuff like this.

I'm perfectly capable, I just don't see the reason. Why should I install a JRE to run your program? The JRE has nothing to do with your program; it's incidental complexity. Go gives us a way to eliminate that incidental complexity and so is a step forward.

hmm, well we can dumb things down if you really need it. I think things are already pretty simple though.
