I'd like to know which good practices Go is merely reintroducing.
The concurrency model, sure, but I believe the approaches to
interfaces and name visibility are new, as is having a garbage
collected language that lets you take the address of fields
in the middle of objects.  If you know of earlier work that already
did these, I'd be interested to hear about it.

Thanks.
