The golang language spec is very sparse on implementation details in comparison to something like the java spec. I don't think the length of the lang spec is a great metric for language simplicity.


The Java specification is bigger because it has to define the entire Virtual Machine where a compiler can target already defined architectures. I'm also not seeing much in the way of "implementation details" in their specification. Can you point out what you mean?
