Sorry, I don't see how your comment contributes to the discussion. You have heard of C? A language which most of the Unix infrastructure is built upon?
It turns out, Go is a language, which keeps a lot of virtues of C, adding just enough to it to fix some of the shortcomings of C, adding more safety and convenience.
No, C doesn't have many virtues. It's major virtue was getting close to being a macro assembler, and Go removes that completely. Go tries to be a higher-level-than-C language with good execution speed, but that goal was already achieved perfectly by Object Pascal, D, Ada, and Common Lisp.
The brainfuck quip is a bit more potent when the Go advocate in question has made it clear that they think language simplicity and code simplicity are equivalent. That didn't happen here, but it's tempting to assume that's what the advocate is thinking when they praise language simplicity so much.
