Long time software engineer, just coming off 4 years of Kotlin into Go. Love-hate describes it for me. It's just not as much fun and feels sterile. I get the whole "just write the damn code" argument, but unfortunately for me I get fulfillment out of writing code, and Go isn't doing it for me. I've been around for a long time and experienced all the various language philosophies. The Go dogma is especially frustrating. Everything I say is met some automatic recycled response. No thanks
