> Go and Scala have powerful type inference, making
explicit type declarations very rare. In C++ and Java
everything needs to be declared explicitly.<p>I guess they forgot about C++11's auto?
This is really old. C++, Java are mature languages. Scala hit 2.11 in March 2014, while Go version 1 was released in March 2012 and currently is at 1.3. Versions don't tell the whole story, but they do matter.
