I agree with you that there is value in these varied opinions. I think it's part of why this sort of post tends to get upvoted regardless of whether it is positive or negative about the technology.

In his blog post written roughly a year ago about his first week using Go he says this:

I could be wrong, but I get the impression that if it were solely up to him the project might have been written in Erlang either from the start or after trying Go for that first week.
