Golang has shortcomings a plenty, although that doesn't necessarily make it a poor language to use. It's a fairly simple language, which makes it relatively easy to grasp and understand the majority of Go code. This is particularly useful for group development (i.e. in companies), where you want everyone to understand each others' work. Anecdotally, although I prefer to write Rust, and consider it a better language in many ways, it took me a lot longer to learn the language, and longer still to write idiomatic Rust code. I was up to speed with Golang relatively quickly.
