It seems some programmers just will not accept new syntax at all. I think it's a waste of time trying to please these people and, contrary to popular belief, you don't need their blessing to make a successful new language. Coffeescript is an example that supports this.
It's a valid point, but it paints with too broad of a brush. For example, I have enthusiastically moved from JavaScript to CoffeeScript, in part because I love the syntax.
While I know there are programmers who act just like you described, my complaint is with Go's syntax specifically.
