Very interesting to see Go as a choice. On sheer library numbers Go would still come short compared to Perl/Python. But Go's simplicity is actually huge accidental positive. One of things that I remember from the past is applications used to be developed as giant Monoliths. Which is why you needed all that OO, templates and generics related magic to work with. These days people don't develop applications that way anymore. Adding to which microservices architecture has taken off really well. People tend to write their binaries as applications that do one thing well. Go is actually a very practical language for today's everyday work.
