I agree with the complaints about project structure (GOPATH), difficulty importing third-party modules/packages, upper-case/lower-case public/private scoping not ideal... But I think it's a very good, flexible language on the whole and I think its approach to OOP and pointers is really good (even though it's different from most other OO languages). Unlike some of the comments, I think it's actually not too verbose considering the flexibility it offers (it's much less verbose than C++).

That said, for building web applications, I still prefer Node.js.
