It's possible that you left your point as an exercise for the reader, so  
it may be lost.

But it's not important.  It's unlikely that you will convince goers that  
the language deficiencies are not worth the advantages.  Only time will  
tell how popular/useful it will be.  That one point you made would be a  
deal-killer for me (not that I'm close to using Go or anything, but no  
need to invest any more time on it after that).
