The thing about Go that pulled me in around 10 years ago was that I could inspect the source code of an open source Go project on GitHub and actually tell what was going on. And on top of that I could easily cross-compile and deploy binaries in a way that blew automake/CMake away. And of course the goroutines... no more pthreads. It's a real case study in opinionated language design.
