"The best way to express it is that with Go programming is fun again."

I beg to disagree in the strongest possible terms. I found programming with Go to be the opposite of fun. It's a highly opinionated language which gives people poor libraries, poor tooling, and the worst of many possible worlds. It's as if someone who couldn't see past C wanted to be slightly Erlangish.

No thank you, I will go back to Common Lisp and Haskell any day of the week from this abomination of a language. I've been exploring Clojure (on JVM, CLR and JS) as a practical alternative to CL lately.
