It's really hard to take those arguments without a whole serving of salt because the things that it's ostensibly good at handling really aren't that much easier. Why is (un)marshalling data in a type safe way so damn hard in Go? Why does doing the same thing over and over and over and over never get easier? (Because the language lacks high level abstractions.

I used Go extensively at my last job and I was left feeling that there were pretty much always better choices. If you care about developer velocity with your more unskilled engineers, Go is a bad choice for a multitude of reasons. If you're going to need the performance over something else, the JVM is right there, and so too is Rust.
