I'd particularly recommend "Meet the Go team". Some really interesting questions, and most importantly answers. In the video :) [this video]

That was actually one of the questions asked during the "Meet the Go team" talk at Google I/O. They joke around for a bit, but they end up giving some solid arguments. [this video] Edit: If you're curious/interested in Go, it's worth watching the whole talk.

If you watch the "Meet the Go team" talk from Google IO, they explicitly mention that almost nothing in Go is particularly new, and most of its ideas have been around for decades: [this video] What makes Go great is not the individual features, but the selection of the features and how well they work together, and also the "features" that were excluded from the language.

AFAIK, yes it is still the case (although somewhat slightly improved), but precise collector is officially expected (and being worked on) for version 1.1 . The latter was explicitly said on a Q&A session on Google I/O conference, the video is available somewhere on teh interwebs. edit: I think it's this one: [this video] ("Meet the Go team"), but maybe some other from: [LINK] (sorry, don't have time to watch them all again now to make sure ;)

The following features make Go as the "go-to" language for me: 1.Coroutines, Channels and Select: Concurrency with built in synchronization and communication is accessible(especially if your are new to concurrent programming) enough to handle "most" of the grunt work. 2.gofmt: Formats your code for you. No more debates(procrastination) on that. 3.godoc: Generates documents. No more looking for the best 3rd party tool and wasting time. 4. Defer and Close: Helps you to do better post-operation tasks i.e better resource management. 5. Error Handling: Multivalue returns. 6. Type Hierarchy: No type hierarchy exists in the conventional sense. 7. Slices & Maps: Just two of them, and that's why I lo

Thanks for the link. Here's a video from 2012 starring him: [this video] Not an interview, but he sometimes says a sentence.

That suggests you don't understand what tabs are. Tabs are a single char, not x number of spaces. You can set your text editor to display tabs as any number of spaces you want, I set mine to two. See: [this video]
