It took me a good 3 months of fighting with the language before it started to click for me, and then another 3 months to really start using it properly. It sucks to always read things like "I was able to write production code on the first day!" around here.

I think that depends on the mindset of how you see computer languages. I like learning new languages, every time I encounter some new language, I have to try it out and get at least something basic working.

I'm pretty decent at C, C++, Python and Bash scripting, have participated in larger projects in Java, Perl, Pascal/Delphi and Ruby, and have toyed around with Rust, Haskell, Clojure, Angelscript, Crystal, Lua and probably a bunch more that I forget.

Go for me was a breeze, everything just clicked. It helps that it got a lot of it's inspiration from other languages I already knew pretty well. When started toying around with Haskell for example, this wasn't the case, it took me quite a while to get me up & running with the basics, and I still don't think I know basic Haskell. Go on the other hand was easy, and within a week I was diving into the stdlib sourcecode.
