I love it, and consider it surprisingly and even “unreasonably” effective. My favorite feature is its simplicity. It imposes very little cognitive load, allowing you to spend more time thinking about the problem you are trying to solve and less time on language gymnastics. I am way “over” being impressed with that kind of cleverness. I am much more impressed with what a program does than with cleverness at the code level. Go mostly picks the right features and avoids those that just add complexity, and it mostly gets that right. It doesn’t get everything right. I am disappointed with channels and I do think it needs generics, though I hope the latter do not add much complexity and are not overused.
