I agree with you that Go is a boring language. I think in Go's boredom is a path to creating better code than you are pushed towards in other languages, and I enjoy writing Go in my free time because I enjoy learning about API design through interacting with the STL, and because I produce programs in it that I understand much more deeply (and with relative ease) than when I try to use another language. However, Go is not a good language for experimenting with cutting edge language features.
