For certain types of tasks, you want to choose a language that is not moving fast and breaking things. Such a language tends to be less "exciting" than others.

Look at Common Lisp which fits this description much more than Go and is still a million times more interesting and powerful. Go just really is a below average language.

Was that true from the start or is it just that it's much older? How fast did Common Lisp move during its own first ten years, before the ANSI standardization?

Well, Go has only one implementation, right? So it's kind of always been standardised.
