It's a gimped, obfuscated and immature imitation of D.
It's little more than a concurrency-model experiment masquerading as a real 
language.

Also:
- As far as I'm concerned, its real name is "Issue 9" (search "google go 
issue 9").
- It's the Buick/Cadillac/Oldsmobile of computer languages: Garbage that 
gets attention solely because of the name(s) attached.
- Does nothing to change my opinion that Google has done nothing noteworthy 
outside of search engines and maybe their ad service.
