I wonder if someone can produce a comparison between Scala and Google 'Go' language (feature by feature, like concurrency models, collections, etc.)?

+5  A: 

Better compare it to C (or C++ or D).

As far as I do understand the intent of this language is to replace C/C++ not Java/Scala (VM languages). Go has no exceptions, assertions, inheritance. This is only bearable for C programmers.

I would like to see the new parts not present in other languages (or newly combined in Go). Especially how programs should be designed with the minimalistic type system.

They mentioned Java as a systems language in the tech talk.
