I kind of gave up on it when I realized how complicated it is to sort a list. Hopefully they'll improve that in future versions.

Still could see myself using it for specific use cases.

But for the future I'd wish for something cooler to win :-)

Edit: check out the sort module and decide for yourself http://golang.org/pkg/sort/

It has some interesting, if confusing, properties. But why not just let me write

list.sort(function(a,b){ return 1, 0 or -1...}) like JavaScript does?

While the examples in the sort module are perhaps more generic than necessary (hence the interesting but confusing properties), any sort still requires the definition of 3 functions, and they can't be defined inline (on the fly) either, afaik.
