Yes, I agree with this, but need to caveat it. Go is a fun language to write code in (it has the simplicity and directness of C, which is also a fun language to write code in, while avoiding the warts of C). Like C, it isn’t a fun language to rapidly develop features in, because it is very boilerplatey due to limited abstraction. Incidentally, for this reason I’ve always enjoyed coding in C because in domains where I’ve used it (most embedded code) the required feature set is quite limited, so C’s slow pace of development isn’t a problem. On the other hand when working with Go server code at a startup, I was deeply frustrated because I just wanted a much more abstract language to rapidly write features in.
