I was not sure about Go, but I tried it out, and I like the language. It was easy to learn, has a good tool chain, it has a good standard library, and the community produces code for things not available in the standard library. I have traditionally used Perl for most things, but Go fills a nice spot for small servers on the backend. I think if you need generics for your project, C++ and Rust are waiting for you to pickup and start using. If you want embedded programming, C is there for you to pick up. If you want fancy type systems, Haskell is there for you to pick up. No one language can be everything to everyone. Choose the tool with the features you need.
