You really think so? I think that implies that it remains unsuccessful, which (given its current trajectory) seems unlikely.
Oops. I meant "seen technically", not "seen socially".
I think it's more likely that in 10 years, Go will be the new Java.
I'd rather think of Go as the new C. :-)
Also, as far the "do more with less" and "no nonsense" stuff is concerned - have you seen the spec of Java on one side, and the specs for Go and Oberon on the other? There's quite some difference.
