I've been writing Go for some time. Just finished writing a small CDN for the company I currently work for. It's It's a fast language that performs well in systems programming (what it was made for). But boy is it ugly. Not verbose like Java, but ugly to write and read. It does force a good coding convention because otherwise you end up with a pile of ugly code. People seem to be bent on writing it like 80s C. Full of single character variable names and odd function naming. Dunno if it's just my experience. I do like the fact that it resembles python in how it feels. Overall I'd say it's a nice language that is not for everybody. I am playing with Elixir these days. Go is good enougb, but I'm not happy with it being that.
