Real World Applications

Additional information
Gore does have some weird syntax differences from go in some cases. Imports for example are done via:
:import "fmt" // Notice the colon before the import statement
There are also some weird runtime behaviours. Gore behaves similarly to main package programs in go. Any main function defined (or the first function in the case of no main function definition) will be run automatically on every statement (like a Comment or function definition).
