I watched part of the video, though I'm curious enough about it that I'll probably
watch the rest later, esp. if Go keeps coming up around here.  However, for me
personally "normal" static typing is too rigid for just about anything.  I would
never choose a language that didn't either have duck typing or good templates that
basically amount to compile-time duck typing.  I'm not sure how Go addresses this.
