Apologies for not replying sooner.

Perhaps it is actually just the "feel" of the debugging and benchmarking, and the general completeness of the documentation.

This set of slides: http://talks.golang.org/2012/simple.slide introduces pretty much everything you need to know about Go. Graphs that show memory allocation

by which function allocated, and the time taken of each function (d has a way to get the data as Walter points out). Ah the profiling was only mentioned in that slide set.

The profiling doc is here: http://blog.golang.org/2011/06/profiling-go-programs.html

It is all super easy, and documented so that you can do it now. All in one place. And I think possibly the most important thing about it is that it does what it says.

The standard library all works together as a whole. Another thing which is different and makes Go easier or faster to pick up is that there is often only one way to

do something. D excels in allowing a multitude of ways to do things.

Do you know of any all encompassing slide set of document that one can pick up the information contained in http://talks.golang.org/2012/simple.slide? Is there an equivalent to http://blog.golang.org/2011/06/profiling-go-programs.html?
