Man, I've lately seen so many posts criticizing Go. They must have done something pretty well with it. It's sad that I see more posts criticizing Go than posts talking positively about it.
I hear you and I have been a fan of Go for awhile. But, it hasn't really done anything new, especially in regards to programming language theory over the last 30 odd years. It feels like another "developers, developers, developers" play and when you see ultra modern languages like Rust, you sort of get the feeling Go is half baked and without purpose.
I completely understand most people's complains about Go. I think most programmers that have used Go understand that it doesn't offer anything new, besides very easy concurrency and a few other things. Still, I think it has a place, and it seems a few large companies are using it with success, and, at the end of the day, if people find it practical, then way to go.
