My favourite languages are Common Lisp and OCaml but I've found Go surprisingly useful professionally. It's easy to onboard new team members, even those without prior experience, and some made contributions the very first day. The language handles complex workloads without much need for tuning or premature optimization and has sensible garbage collection defaults for latency. My main concern is an ongoing trend towards "Java-ification", like watching your favorite punk band start to sound suspiciously like Nickelback, but I think it's still a pretty good language. Go is like one of those "so bad it's good" movies.
