I know the feeling. Having moved to Go from the Python community I felt extremely scorned by the lack of a lot of features. Why should I have to write a for loop to traverse this list just to see if an element is present? What I've found is that the features that are missing are actually extremely simple to implement myself - to the point where it's comical that I ever complained about them. The things you gain, however, are much more powerful. There is an elegance to go code that can't be matched by dynamic languages. It has the readability of Python with the type safety of Java, and tooling built in that simply trumps both. I'm obviously a big fan, but it was a long and difficult journey to get there.
