It totally took a year to really internalize goisms. But a week or so to pickup the basics, and some really deep code reviews and a bit of pair programming from people I respect, including the author of this article, helped me quickly learn most of the low hanging goisms and the a large portion of the standard library.

The time to go from python dev but never touched go to working on a go code base is measured in weeks in my experience.
