I played with Go in the beginning, mainly due to the Pascal and Oberon feeling the language has. Even tried to submit some code back to the project.

Went back to C++, .NET and Java, with an eye on D and Rust, because:

- Most Go features are actually not that new, if you happen to have a good CS background with lots of experience in many programming languages

- The community attitude "our way or the highway" regarding generics, error handling, dynamic libraries and package management
