Go, the language, is better than Go, the PR. The early promotional materials claimed way too much. Some of those documents are still out there, especially "Effective Go". But the language, although overhyped, came out OK.

Go is really the successor to Java and COBOL. It's what you write your business logic in. We needed that. Java had accumulated too much excess baggage.
