Wow, go is totally not Java-lite. Trying to program in it like it is will just cause headaches. The only conceivable way that I can think of that it could be called that is because it is compiled and has a garbage collector. Otherwise... they are very different languages.

Go is what you'd get if python and C had a bastard love child that turned out different from either, but still retained some of the beauty of each of its parents.
