Go is a great language with a great standard library. The big downside is, that you have to play compiler and write all the time boring algorithms yourself (because go has no generics). Want to filter a slice -> do it yourself Want to map a function over a slice -> do it yourself Want to pop out a value of a slice -> a[len(a)-1], a[:len(a)-1] ... There are worse things in the world, still it's the reason why I don't use go any more. More examples: https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/SliceTricks https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/SliceTricks
