Dependency management is what drove me away. I drank the Kool-Aid; had the language specification printed and studied it with care. What a wonderful, concise language. Then I tried to actually use it for something. That something involved a few large dependencies and although I was personally able to cope with the dependency problems, after about six weeks I concluded I was wasting time; there was no way I would ever advocate to an employer or co-worker this platform. Solid, easy dependency management and easily reproducible builds are non-optional, and Go doesn't provide either without a bunch of legwork. The folks behind Go have heard this a thousand times and it has done nothing to persuade them to deal with it. That's a no-"Go" for me.
