I find a good IDE that you are already familiar with from other languages/environments goes a long way. Pick your poison, but for me because I'm already using IntelliJ for Java at work and Android Studio for open source projects, I was able to get into Go relatively easily recently using IntelliJ.

The linter/autocompletion/auto-fix/refactoring/etc made it much simpler to a avoid having to rote-learn the syntax for functions, lambdas, structs, etc. To go with that, the error handling becomes much easier to learn because the editor is able to tell you when you've got the wrong number of return values / wrong type of values.

Yes, the compiler does all of this, but the way it happens in real time using the same keybindings/UI/UX that I use for my day job makes it all that much easier.
