Go is an average language but it's a solid product.

The tooling is excellent. A lot of thougt has been put into making things simple. From the folder structure to the final binary, everything is smooth.

It's just a shame that the language design itself is quite behind the times. Older languages had a lot to offer to a new one. The day it launched it was already old. And I don't see a lot of goodwill to change the language to fill the glaring omissions.

Python in this respect is quite an example : iterators, generators, ABC were carefully added without making any less approachable. It prooves it is possible, but that the kind of things the Go leaders apparently simply don't consider.
