I like Go. Coming from Python, I appreciate having most things be explicit in nature vs. magical, and having concurrency not feel like a bolted on nightmare.
Writing microservices at $DAYJOB feels far easier and less guess-work, even if it requires more upfront code, because it’s clear what each piece does and why.
I've finally gotten around to learning Go this year and I'm having a pretty similar experience.
It really feels like a simpler language and ecosystem compared to Python. On top of that, it performs much better!
