It took me a while, but after using Go for a few months, I really like it. It's a lot simpler than, e.g., Java, C++, or even JavaScript, but I find I end up writing really clean, legible code with it.

And wow, does it ever compile fast!

Nice. Is there a language it's similar to in terms of syntax?

I guess it's probably closest to C, but with some niceties like range operators. Blocks are curly-brace delimited, etc.
