I learned Go in the manner which you describe. It's still a disappointing language. I don't understand the powerful Stockholm Syndrome which appears to grip most Gophers. For example, compared to MRI, Go has better GC and execution speed, much less flexibility, better concurrency primitives but not better concurrency libraries (EventMachine), and is incredibly verbose. If you refuse to compare languages, then you are asserting that at least one of the languages is somehow magically incomparable and thus criticism-free, and Go is not so special or good that it should get any pedestal-driven treatment.
