Yeah, but that's something that can be fixed. What is more difficult to 
fix is that Go is all-over an unremarkable and unoriginal language 
(something that would become obvious if one thinks for a second what 
would have happened if Go wasn't associated with Google's brand name). 
On the other hand, it is associated with Google's brand name. :o) It 
will be interesting to see how things turn out.
