The bold utilitarian approach of Go might face some valid criticisms from seasoned programmers, I myself had to empty my cup(mostly Java) to get onboard Go and I'm glad that I did. After a spine surgery my programming time got severely limited and so I decided to code my future projects with utility focused languages. I had used Python in the past, but the performance tuning once the application scales is counterproductive and expensive to say the least. I wanted a language which has predictable performance, decent standard library and most importantly not waste my time; time I can focus on my health. Go was the answer, even if it meant that I had to let go of some of my decade long programming patterns and practices. Now my only wish w.r.t to Go's future is for it to stick with its utilitarian philosophy and not succumb to pressure of including features which might compromise it and leading to the several forks of Go.
