How Multicore CPUs Changed Object-Oriented Programming
OOP’s implicit reference semantics were manageable in single-threaded code. But when CPUs went multicore in 2005, hidden shared state went from ‘confusing’ to ‘catastrophic.’ This is why Go and Rust refined OOP: keeping methods and encapsulation while replacing inheritance with composition and implicit references with value semantics.
Go's Value Philosophy: Part 3 - Zero Values: Go's Valid-by-Default Philosophy
In Python, undeclared variables don’t exist. In Java, local variables can’t be used before assignment. In Go, declaration creates a valid value. There is no uninitialized state - every value works from the moment it’s declared.

In Python, everything is an object. In Java, everything is a class. In Go, everything is a value. These are fundamental design philosophies that shape how you write concurrent code, manage memory, and reason about performance.
