I've been using Go as my main programming language for the past 5 years or so, and it's still my favorite language (picking from PHP, Java, C++, Python, and a few more I have experience with).
Its simplicity makes it relatively easy to write high quality software and reduces maintenance, as there are no breaking changes in the language itself. Tooling is on point, you get everything you need, standard formatting (which helps to keep all code bases in the wild consistent), and cross compile.
One of the things that might make it even better are generics, but I haven't really missed them so far. In conclusion, I don't think I will switch to anything else soon.
