I've been coding for decades and Go is the best language I've used in terms of being able to easily read and understand other peoples code. It also "feels" very maintainable to me, but it's hard to speak empirically about that.

I've also found that most libraries in go hold up well over time. In fact, I just recently needed to write a go program that could use some code i wrote many years ago and haven't touched in nearly as many years which used a few external libraries. I literally copy and pasted my old code into my new project and it just worked.
