Ask HN: Is Google Go a reinvention of the pike programming language? (opens in new tab)

Pike is interpreted and dynamic. That alone should be enough to qualify this Ask HN for a one word response: "no".

The major 'new' features in GO over 'C' are in my opinion the 'goroutines' and the 'channels'.

I don't see either of those in the 'pike' documentation.

Interesting how one of the authors of 'GO' is called Pike!

Very cursory examination shows no goroutines, lots of talk about Objects (not in go) and a dynamic appearance. I would say no.
