I think a persons opinion on Go really depends on where you're coming from and what tooling they are used to. As a PHP/Node/Ruby dev I find Go does everything PHP/Node/Ruby does, faster, and more reliably due to static typing. Often more verbosely though. I've simply never wanted for the things he asks as I've never had them. It's all in the expectations is my point.

It's telling that the most sophisticated type system you've dealt with is Ruby, though. I think that if you spent some time working in OCaml/Nim/Rust/D/C# you'd learn a lot which would cause you to be a lot less impressed with Go.
