Allow me to defend the honor of Go a bit here! It's not to everyone's taste, but it was designed by people who've been programming for a long time to be a language they'd like to program in. It is my favorite language for many tasks (and I've been coding for a couple decades now). For me what's impressive about it is it's very simple, reasonably expressive, and just a really well-designed cohesive whole that doesn't usually expose sharp edges. The longer I program the less I care about fancy things or being elegant or writing the smallest possible code, and the more I care about eliminating bullshit problems and wtf moments. Go's good at that.
