Could it be because golang supports unicode identifiers? For non-native English speakers, it must be more difficult to program in ASCII-based languages, right?
Almost every non-trivial programming language released after 2000 supports unicode identifiers[0]. Rust, Python, Ruby, C#, Scala, Clojure, just to name a few, all support unicode identifiers. [0] http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Unicode_variable_names

#103Whoa wait a second, I feel like this is burying the lead: you can write native android apps in go [1]. I feel like that's a very big deal, especially for game companies wanting native speed, and a 'modern' language and toolkit. [1] E.g. http://talks.golang.org/2014/gothamgo-android.slide#1
Thought it might interest you that the term is "burying the lede". One of those weird terms like "champing at the bit" or "eke out a living" that uses a word that sounds like a modern English word but is actually a slightly arcane word. In this case lede is "the introductory section of a news story that is intended to entice the reader to read the full story".

Why are you speaking Chinese on an English newsboard? It's not very polite to respond in a different language as the question, especially when it cannot be presumed everyone will understand you.
If you speak English in a Chinese-language form, it is VERY OK and welcome, especially you are native English speakers. 注意:我只在与中国相关的threads里面说中文。Anyway, I am not good at English, and I will not speak Chinese anywhere in the form. Don't panic. :)

>Why are you speaking Chinese on an English newsboard? It's not very polite to respond in a different language as the question, especially when it cannot be presumed everyone will understand you. But it fits in with the current discussion, and I think is in the spirit or this particular thread.
