go code immediately injects into the brain, no need to even read it 🙂
what a lovely language

Like a Virus.
Or a Parasite.
An extremely effective one, though.

That’s what my dealer keeps telling me.
I’m more the buddhist kind here.
There’s eternal layers of wisdom in Haskell.
If go’s like Cocaine, Haskell’s like LSD.
The description of LSD at urban dictionary fits Haskell astonishingly well
Synthetic chemical which, when taken orally or, less commonly, in the lining of an eyelid or nostril, is the most potent hallucinogen known to the common public.
One of the cheapest drugs available, it is neither addictive nor physically dangerous. Taken by an intelligent, open-minded person, it can create fantastic revelations and experiences.
It is not a good party drug, and, in a hostile environment such as a party, it can lead to what is known as a ‘bad trip’, where the person under the influence of the substance in question has an experience which is totally frightening. Fear, depression and anger are accentuated to fill the entire body to a point where entire thought patterns are controlled by these emotions.
The same accentuation goes for happiness and relaxation, often leading to a state of artificial nirvana, the only difference being that the person is absolutely suggestible and can lose the ability to reason.

And the description on Go (Cocaine) is also an interesting fit:
A naturally occuring stimulant that is one of the most popular of the hard drugs used nowadays. Highly addictive and often of questionable purity (due to it being cut w/ so many things by so many people), it is a dangerous drug. […]
Effects--- Alot like speed, but “cleaner” and not as long-lasting. Basically it gives a person lots of energy, makes them more alert and more sharp mentally, gives people a “euphoria” thats difficult to explain--- it’s sort of a feeling of invincibility with a simultaneous feeling that all is right in the world. Some people say that it’s like ecstasy but you love yourself instead of others. Cocaine also has a pleasurable numbing effect (on gums, lips, etc). Unfortunately, the drug only lasts ~40 min at the most and the crash is very, very bad, with intense cravings, depression, and paranoia. Addiction soon after experimental use is not uncommon.
