It's opinionated, but it's not _that_ opinionated IMO. You can write awkward Java, shiny C, or whatever idiomatic Go is. Most people I worked with were from .net/Java worlds, and learned just about enough Go to be able to subject others to their coffee bean ideologies. There's somethings the compiler will fail on like unused variable and the likes, but for the most part you need added static analysis and style checking -- some of which ships with the Go compiler.
