You have to manually provide a seed every time you want a random number. Gophers will defend this with their dying breath.

This is not needed anymore since version 1.20

That's good to hear, but I wouldn't choose to use a language that took 5 years to get that right, when most languages have it from day 1.

So what language would you chose then? Java, PHP, JavaScript? None of the big languages where perfect from day one and it does not really matter, since day one is over already.
