Precisely. Just because a language lacks certain features available in other languages doesn't mean it's not 'good'.

Things that are 'good' for me: Good concurrency primitives, single binary deployment with no dependencies, a language that can be picked up in a matter of days and a consistent coding style (gofmt).

If another language suits you better than use it, but to call Go "a regression from other modern programming languages" ignores the many reasons developers are using it.
