I've found that Go works well for small code bases where duplication isn't too much of a worry. It makes sense. The authors of Go are the same people who advocate for small, focused tools: the unix philosophy. When you grow to a certain size though, it becomes very messy. Go has very little facility for abstraction despite being a higher level language with a GC and a substantial runtime. I also personally find the error handling frustrating. Most of the time all you want to do with an error is send it to the caller, who has more context on how to handle it. I still write Go alongside Rust, but I use it as a scripting language, for all the things I used to use Python for. Rust just has the tools I need to build abstractions, and lets me avoid continually rewriting data structures.
