I'm just learning Go now and I'm still in the middle of the whole "Go solves concurrency" part. It's nice to get a second opinion

I've been using Go since 2012 (I believe). It's a great language, but it doesn't "solve concurrency". It makes concurrency quite a lot easier than in most other languages, and much easier than almost all mainstream languages circa 2012, but there's still lots of room to improve.
I don't know if you consider Scala mainstream, but pretty sure both Finagle and Akka were available by 2012
The ease of development in Go vs. Scala is day and night.
Agree, it's a lot easier to write correct code in Scala.
Scala was not on my radar in 2012; take that for whatever it's worth to you.
