This is one of the things I like about Go: it's "done." In exchange for passing on extensions that might make certain use cases easier, we'll avoid the bloat and have decades of backward compatibility.
We just came out of a decade of nifty language mania. What I learned is that languages are boring but problems are interesting. Algorithms and solutions are interesting. A great solution to a challenging problem is really interesting even if it's in the most boring language ever.
I have code on my machine written in C in the 70s because C is largely "done." People today continue to write interesting stuff in C. Neuromancer was written in the same language as Lord of the Rings and Moby Dick, too.
