I agree. I've grown to really love Go the more I've used it and gotten the chance to compare it to other languages. There's a certain "completeness" and philosophical consistency to it that's really hard to find in other languages these days imo (some older languages, like Standard ML, C, Scheme, and some others also achieve this) because I think a lot of language designs now evolve more organically instead of being formally thought out up front.

You might like Clojure.

Go evolved very organically. Look at the inconsistency in the way nil slices vs. maps work, for instance, or the way comparisons against nil for interfaces work. Go may be simple to explain at a high level, but the details are very complex.
