I am not agreeing with your sentiment for Go but I do want to strongly agree with this statement: > I'm afraid I might end up having to maintain code written in it one day I have similar fears about Ruby. This is also true of many contractor firms where they write beautiful tested code which is designed to work really well right now, but not designed to last (think views rendering database objects). I think this is a sentiment people need to have when they see something cool or some sort of solution: Will I, in 4 years, want to maintain this? Will some person, in 4 years, curse my name for having written this?
