I suspect you're right. I'm going to continue with Go for a little while longer to give it a real chance, there are a few things I like about it such as the dependency management and the lightning fast compilation so there's still a chance that I will grow to like it.

I really hate Golang error handling, but I have to grudgingly acknowledge that it results in code that is more reliable than Ruby or Python (and much more reliable than C). That's a dividend paid by explicitness.

I would not say I've grown to like the error handling, but when I trudge through it now, I do so realizing that there's probably an actual benefit to my program of the annoyance.

The Go standard library is also really, really well designed.
