"You sir, win 1st prize for completely missing the point (despite thinking you're not--your clever "why?" won't save you here)." - Andrew Gwozdziewycz

"> A lot of people have never heard of many languages, so your mileage may vary. Of course, but regarding your other point, you can say the same about Scala (which of course has been around a bit longer) and even Clojure. They have very strong communities with lots of contributors. I'd still argue though that Scala is closer to critical mass than Go. Maybe I'm wrong though." - Andrew Gwozdziewycz

"which is precisely why I'm saying that they haven't reached critical mass. Maybe I'm setting the quantity for critical mass too high, but I don't believe so. Either way, I recognize your point that Go has lots of contributors and lots of buzz, and so have many other languages. I like the trend, but we're not there yet." - Andrew Gwozdziewycz

"And yet, 90% of the people I work with have no idea..." - Andrew Gwozdziewycz

"I think you have a severely inflated definition of "Critical mass."" - Andrew Gwozdziewycz

"I take it you work with smart people like Torvalds all day, huh?" - Andrew Gwozdziewycz

"What does what have to do with anything? The fact that most people don't use Limbo, nor have they heard of it? There are many languages that get concurrency right. None of them have critical mass and thus will never see the light of day by *main street programmers*. That's my point." - Andrew Gwozdziewycz
