First time I used it, I called it 'C+-' after two weeks and a supervisord clone, but I really liked the language (except the module system). It was ~9 years ago, and other than that I only used it in coding interviews, as it's portable, simple, close enough to C that I'm not lost using it, yet simple enough that I don't introduce bugs carelessly every 30 loc.

But it's a bit boring and I'll never use it for personal projects.

Yeah, the original GOPATH stuff was atrocious.

Two questions:

1) how do you like the module system we have today? 2) can you expand on what you mean by boring, why it is important to you that a language not be boring, and give an example of a language that is not boring?
