In my few years of experience, the language is not too bad but the ecosystem, job market, and dare I say the self-considered experts who specialize in it, are difficult to tolerate for long. It's great the performance is improving, but there continue to be questionable design decisions in the language, as well as accepted standard practices and libraries.

The only way I was able to tolerate it is by carving out my own little world, and being very conservative with any external dependencies. Come to think of it, this approach has worked well for me with other languages but not to this extreme where I consider it a hostile environment.
