maybe you should try it ... what about that? I bet you will change your mind. Both posts that you have linked are pretty much: "meh... i need s.th. to complain about"-posts. I've never been really affected by the issues they are screaming so loud about and believe me, I did not only write some toy projects [1]
go is mega awesome and I love going back to the projects where I use it. It's a simple language that makes it very easy to write good code. And the library ecosystem is pretty good as well, especially when it comes to networking stuff.
