Golang is also designed to compile very fast.

Yes, I do appreciate Go's existence as well.

Go directly is inspired by Modula-3 and Oberon-2, both are descendants from Pascal family. One of the Go's fathers was Wirth's students IIRC.

Oberon-2 surely, there are zero Modula-3 influences in Go.

Also Wirth had nothing to do with Modula-3, that was all DEC / Olivetti SRC work, done by ex-Xerox people with experience on Cedar and Modula-2+.

"Go is mostly in the C family (basic syntax), with significant input from the Pascal/Modula/Oberon family"

Without Pascal there would be no Modula.

If your BASIC is compiled that's just a CPU!

So the AI equivalent of the socially stunted but brilliant researcher?

What is the obsession with equating the Holocaust with a war whose death toll is roughly 1/100th of the Holocaust (and that only if you include combatant deaths, which the Holocaust numbers do not?)

The point is not the body count. The point is the attempted perpetration of genocide, by people who have been the target of genocide in recent history.

As I said, it's mystifying that the conclusion from being targeted for genocide is "...therefore we must commit genocide against others." I suppose it is consistent with biblical commandments, though.

Citation needed that people are thinking "therefore we must commit genocide against others"

Attempted genocide better describes Hamas, who slaughtered a 1/4 of the civilians in the first villages they got their hands on, before being pushed back.

But the harness still matters.

In the case of stockfish, the harness is a tree search around the neural network evaluations.

Malaria tropica (the disease) maps 1:1 to Plasmodium falciparum (the parasite that causes this disease)
