I like it because I genuinely don't have opinions about many of the things Go is opinionated about. As I see it, programming is something of a craft, people have different opinions about how to do it, and the only real way to evaluate these opinions is to have a lot of experience. Not having a great deal of experience, I like that Go essentially proscribes a lot of the stuff people normally have opinions about. It pushes you to write in a way that, for better or worse, some people think is good. I trust their understanding of the tradeoffs involved in engineering software better than mine - and I also trust that, when I outgrow them, I'll notice.
