I really really like Go as well. It fits my mental model I guess. Overall, I find it keeps things simple. One tell-tale sign was when I implemented Concurrent Hash-Array Mapped tries (basically a lock-free hashmap) as a learning exercise: The code really looked like the pseudocode algorithm (albeit a bit different because of the lack of sumtypes). I also like the error handling although multiple return values often preclude us from chaining calls. It forces to deal with error values a bit too eagerly at times but one get used to it. And the language, tooling, etc, keeps improving steadily without breaking old code. Very good engineering from the implementers.
