I agree. Go does remind me a lot of early Java. And for some domains, you do want generic easy-to-produce uncreative code of the sort Go encourages.
It's just that I personally do not want to work on a project for which the technical need to repeated uncreative execution. I want to explore new ways of solving problems, and Go is not the language for that. That's why use of Go is a reliable signal.
