> Golang is basically just more concise Java

But golang/newsqueak was developed much earlier, in the early 80s by Rob Pike.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newsqueak

```

type point: struct of{ x, y: int; }

a:=mk(array[10] of int) // mk renamed to make

select{ case i = <-c1: a = 1; case c2<- = i: a = 2; }

```

In the late 2000s, this language updated somewhat (for example, the mk function was renamed to make).
