Right, go is for inexperienced programmers. > The key point here is our programmers are Googlers, they’re not researchers. They’re typically, fairly young, fresh out of school, probably learned Java, maybe learned C or C++, probably learned Python.

However, as I get more and more experienced, the shortcomings of go become too much to bear.
