I've given a talk at work about this one (but it ended up being more about people and kneejerk decision making processes where something cool is picked instead of something reliable), it resonated with a lot of people.

I'm still hoping to get to work with Go again sometimes, I think it embodies the adage pretty well in that it's resistant to change; I'm confident code written today in Go is still going to be the same and working in ten years' time, unlike any other programming language I've worked in.
