> Go

It was specifically design to disallow smart-asses to write ninja-code, so no. Go is for monkey programmer factories which managers want to make sure they will only code a certain way because Go doesn't give the developer choices. It's the anti C++,scala,python,clojure... Go tells you to do this that way, and doesn't give you the constructs or features to make your own choice about coding.

If you want to experience a "programmer factory", learn Java and get a job at a bank.
Java started being too diverse and complicated so they came up with Go instead.
Damn, that's what I do :(
Damn, me too. Money is nice though, amirite?!
I've read that a good codebase is supposed to look like it was written by one person, no matter how many people have contributed.

I know that doesn't sound fun but it makes maintenance so much easier.
