I understand why that would make you uncomfortable. ;-)

But to be honest, more than 50% of the cases where I needed data to be sorted in a certain way, that data came out of a relational database, and adding an ORDER BY-clause to the SQL query was so much easier than doing it myself.

I do agree with the second part of your comment in that Go has a certain type of application where it really shines. But that type of application is not uncommon, and when you hit the sweet spot, it really shines.
