Oh. Thank goodness for that.

Now I can resist every publisher that wants me to write a book on Go, and tell myself that was OK to do because I'd never write as good a book as those two.

For those of you who are not familiar with "The C Programming Language" (also written by Kernighan), see: http://www.amazon.com/C-Programming-Language-2nd/dp/01311036...

That's really a good news. "The C Programming Language" is one of my favourite book. This should the next one!

What modesty!

I've not been a huge fan of Go (more of a Rust person). However, seeing these authors, I'm now itching to get my hands on a copy of this book and give Go another shot.

I wish I didn't have to wait until the summer for it!

Edit: Also, I realize it's unfair to compare Rust to Go, since they really fill two different PL niches. I actually think there is plenty of room for both languages. By my statement above, I just meant that I'm more drawn to Rust's functionally-influenced approach than Go's modern take on the imperative paradigm.
