Of course we need a new programming language - but i don't think we need GO. Here's my personal whishlist: * Concurrency as default (i don't want to express explicitly which parts of my porogram can run in parallel). * I want my programs to be able to run backwards natively (not that kind that MS pseudo backwards-debugging feature crap). i personally call this feature an "entropy-shield" * a really pure functional language (not that "pure functional" languages that allow and than try to monad away "non-functional functions" Such a language has to be completely time-agnostic - that means it will never "run" a program. But - as always - nobody will know what i'm taking about ;-)
