I have another counter-point for this as a rails developer tinkering with golang recently. I think Go got this correct in many ways. Having light weight goroutines that can scale well; having good IO which does epoll/libuv style wait in the background transparently when you read/write. Easy to understand multiprocessing language in general. I have no idea why it's not taking off in web development though.

Go is not bad, but if you're used to Python it feels very verbose. But Go performs much, much better...

I personally use generics enough in web development that Go is sufficiently annoying for many parts.
