I have absolutely loved learning Go. I love simplicity; Go has aesthetics like hardwood floors and flat white walls: your ideas stand out like a fire engine red couch.

If you are used to bigger languages, there will be times when you cry out and curse the names of god because the simple, obvious feature simply is not there. There are young-language cryptic error messages.

But all the libraries are brand spanking new and beautiful, and a bunch of Serious Experienced People wrote Go with the intention of using it for the rest of their careers.

If you like that kind of thing, there's nothing more go-like than Go.

I've looked a little with Go and to be honest I thought it was awesome. It felt very Pythonic almost to the point of feeling like a dynamic language.

The only reason why i wouldn't choose Go at this point is a) it can't be linked from other languages b) can't be used for OS development c) can't be used for embedded systems (I would love to use it for Pebble or Android).

If you care about embedded systems, go with C++.
