I don't mind OO / java, I like ruby, I'm hoping rust will be the new language worth using. I strongly dislike Go for a variety of reasons, mostly dealing with its anti-OO sentiments actually. It has things like "for x := range myArr" but you can't implement that yourself because you actually can't implement either a single and multiple return or implement an iterator/range. The language is full of crap like that, where the programmer is treated like a baby who shouldn't have any power. Similarly, the language has first class functions, but no functional constructs (map, etc). It doesn't have pattern matching or tuples so multiple-returns feel like a hack. Its error checking is atrocious. It has no version control or package management worth shit; npm, bundler, etc, all have an idea of "I want something less than this version". In golang, it's worse than C even. They encourage go get, aka "pull from master, surely it won't break" or vendoring. At least in C, you have os package managers to do some of this and pkg-config. Go is just a terribly designed language in almost every aspect in my opinion. It isn't functional and sucks at OO. It sucks at low level. It sucks at high level. It sucks at large project. It's okay until you need to implement your own type and realize you're a second class citizen. Hopefully that made sense to you; thanks for asking nicely.
