The nicest thing about Go is that the trade-offs are quite clear from the beginning, i.e. you know what you are sacrificing to seize the pros. The cons are usually excessive verbosity. I'll add my favorite pros as well: - the language is very simple and explicit, which makes it easy to understand third party code bases - the spec moves very slowly (or not at all), which ends up protecting the investment that you make into your software in the long term
