I came across this article reviewing the Go programming language. I found it thoroughly entertaining. His comment about Unicode made me chuckle (about a 1/3 of the way through the article. http://www.syntax-k.de/projekte/go-review. I found this to be as much about Go as it was about other languages, most especially Perl, Java, C, C++ and Python.

I like the language, don't like the binary size...895k for a 5 line "Hello World" program. What size of binary does py2exe create, seeing that it essentially includes the whole interpreter in the executable? If I could use GNU autotools with Go and there was a libgo.so shared library instead of statically linking it into the binary, I would be pleased as punch.
