I did Go for around a year and found I'm not its target audience. I need to build database-backed web apps quickly and, while possible in Go, it wasn't easy. Rails is a dream in comparison for that purpose. I experimented with many of the Go web frameworks, but it felt very much like a square peg in a round hole.

I really liked Go for what it was, but it wasn't the right fit for my set of problems.

Ah yes indeed, I should have mentioned the company is mostly a standard CRUD web app. Sure - Go's advantage is the services weigh less and are able to handle more - but that is such an insignificant advantage compared to the human cost of developing and maintaining it (compared to Rails) imo.

It might have been different if I needed something more low level - though in that case one can use C/C++.
