On: Go is amazing, period.

[briancurtin]

Maybe I'm missing something, but "they got rid of the parentheses" sounds like either Go used to require parentheses for this or he thought Python did. If it was the former, then I misread (I don't know very much about Go).

[travem → briancurtin]

The author is writing in the context of moving from c and c++ so I imagine he's talking about getting rid of c style parenthesis.

[mitjak → briancurtin]

I think the author was referring to C and all the other popular languages that similarly enforce the brackets for expressions.
