just because capitalism has major issues doesn't mean communism is the correct alternative answer.

+1 to fixing the docs. It should not be hard to remove the one line, "Pony capabilities are completely new, no other language has them."

Except for how that didn't work for me. Yes, I have a "reverse midas touch" when it comes to technology, but I think that makes me a good UX critic. :-) And even if/when it does work, I detest the whole GOPATH idea. I know the alternatives are not perfect. I know. But still...

Your concept of pleasant / your uses of Go must drastically diverge from mine! :-} I find Go to be needlessly obtuse in the language, the configuration, the tools, and the documentation. This is turning into another horror: it used to be that lots of jobs required javascript; now I fear the kool aid is making people push for Go. Note that I have not used Go for the concurrency stuff. Some might say that means I'm not allowed to have an opinion ;-) whereas I think it means I see the crappy foundation more clearly exposed.
