> The guys who made Go have worked together at Bell labs for year on stuff like Plan 9 and to me it seems that they lost touch with the rest of the world.

Before they worked on Plan 9 they created Unix, that the *nix world lost its way from its simple, small and beautiful roots is clearly something that still pains them greatly.

I would not say that they lost touch with the rest of the world, but that the rest of the world lost touch with them, which has been a great loss.
