I share a lot of these opinions. The language and especially its type system feel like toys when comparing it to TS. I still really enjoy working with it for the right projects, which tend to be very straightforward little servers that need to do one or a couple things very well.
For me, when the task is right, “limiting” becomes “straightforward and uncomplicated” and the things it does well really shine. The language and its type system encourage a simplicity of thought that I find refreshing when compared to the power and complexity of modern languages. I also can’t say enough for the joy of deploying Go binaries over TypeScript projects.
Even so, I’m waiting for generics before I use it for anything really significant. As is right now, I could see myself becoming frustrated with the Zen of Go if I had to use it every day. Just give me map, damn it!
