I used to dislike it too, but after being “forced” to use it daily (chose a job thats 100% golang on the backend), you really grow into it. It would be really, really nice to have better error handling and a bit less verbosity all around, but in terms of cost/benefit it still beats any other language I’ve worked with by a fair margin.

To get into it, it might help to start by modifying an existing project, a lot less painful than trying to write something from scratch without being familiar with the idioms.
