I started learning Go maybe 2 months ago, and we're now using it at work in production for small-scale projects, with plans to make it our default server-side language. The onboarding experience has been quite easy and effective I must say.

I have only written javascript for the past ~5 years and while I've never gone bored of writing code in a ~15y career, Go has brought some pleasant freshness to my work.

All that to say that this guy and the whole Go team have done some good work.

JS was an awesome refresher, especially as React came about and front-end dev became fun with any challenge; while backend seemed mostly mundane crud. Go re-ignited my passion as an engineer, and has been such an awesome tool in the age of microservices and performant distributed architectures. We're running large ML model architectures at scale with Go now.
