If you have developed software in go, and after a couple months you aren't finding its saving you time, or at least pleasant to work with, maybe its not for you.
I feel like it is similar to C, but more opinionated, with much less rope to hang yourself, and often things I would have used C or Java, I find doing them in golang saves me plethoras of time.
It is opinionated, but for me the aha moment was after I learned enough of the standard libraries to feel comfortable in the language, I find myself getting things done at lightning speed, and it has performance that is as solid as the jvm in your average use case.
I find the code is also pleasant to read, and the language lends itself to writing verbose, simple code, which I find easier to debug than overly abstracted systems.
