The distinction you're making here does not exist IMO. Convenience is the entire point of design.

I've written a fair chunk of go in $dayjob and I have t say it's just... Boring. I know that sounds like a weird thing to complain about, but I just can't get enthused for anything I write in go. It's just.. Meh. Not sure why that is, guess it doesn't really click for me like other languages have in the past.

It's a good language for teams, for sure, though.

    No, it's absolutely meant to be boring by design. It's also a downside, obviously, but it's easily compensated by working on something that's already challenging. The language standing out of your way is quite useful in such cases
