You need more time to try it on the site that Walter thinks is useless:
http://ideone.com/Ju80U

This Go code:

package main
 
import "fmt"
 
func main() {
  x := 5
  if(x == 6)
  {
    x++;
  }
  fmt.Printf("%d\n", x)
}


Produces this compilation error (gc-2010-07-14):
prog.go:7: x == 6 not used

The interactive compiler on the Go site produces the same outcome:
http://golang.org/
