> Go is super boring and that it's a selling point. Code is a tool, not a device for entertainment.

It is a balancing act.

As an industry we don't "do" training on work time.

So how do you convince developers to work on learning and development during their own time?

One way is to make the language fun and interesting.

20+ year devs don't like jumping onto the latest unproven technique/language. Don't mistake that for wanting few/limited features in a language.

20+year developers arent driving transitions to go. It is fairly new developers wanting to switch because it's cool, it's new, and it helps level the playing field by bringing experienced developers down a peg or two.
