Like: - Concurrency. Can shoot yourself in the foot still, but it's overall pretty simple to get started and use. - Small language surface. Fairly easy to keep most or all of it in your head. - Good ecosystem, and easy to pull in libraries. - Good standard library that does a lot out of the box. - Easy for new people to get started with it. - Compiles to a single static binary. Dislike: - Cluttering of my code with boilerplate error returns (a common criticism!). - Can't stop consumers of a library from doing the wrong thing. E.g., ensuring that someone always initialises an internal map of a new struct instances is challenging, with tradeoffs for each option. - In line with previous, overall lacking the language tools to enforce correct usage or behaviour. - Lots of footguns.
