It's worked pretty well for go. I'm a relative expert in some domains, but I just find the fancy languages tiresome. I even find so called experts who find it condescending to use a straightforward language tiresome. Seriously - these so called experts never actually deliver any actual product. They just loop around writing line noise that is unreadable. If you code with others, look into the idea of write-only languages. I think you'll find some of the ideas behind go make some more sense if you understand what they are working to avoid. I don't hate generics, but don't think they are critical to go's success.
