I find working with Go a lot like working with Lego. I agree it lacks some nice primitives (Result / Option types as you mentioned) and nil pointers is a flaw, but overall sheer plug and play nature of the language makes it highly productive. There is simply a lot less compiler gymnastics between what I want to code and how to get there. Combined with LLMs to do sanity checks it’s pretty nice to work with.
