I like almost everything about go except the language itself. If you rephrased that as 'a templating language for generating Go code', it would slot into the 'go generate' build stage and people would love you (if you got it right ;) ). The only current solution to boilerplate and lack of generics is code generation, but the templating languages all seem to suck for Go code generation so people are stuck with writing Go programs to generate Go code (like the various enum generators), or attempt to marry Go code with the standard text templating which is awful to work with (like, say, Xo).
