People need to stop trying to force themselves using Go. Yes, good concurrency perks and easy deployment are handy, but Go basically demands people to code 1993 C-Object style since its authors basically rejected 20+ years of type theory. If it feels dirty don't promote that, don't promote a community that is in total denial when it comes to its language shortcomings.

Plenty of alternatives like D,Nim,Vala,Crystal,Erlang and many more. You want the same developer experience as Go (go get,gofmt,golint,go-code...)? then develop the tools for these languages and drop Go. Don't settle for an half baked language just because "it's easy to start with",it's easy to start with because the standard library is dumbed-down. Just look at Go projects on Github where developers spend their time trying to fix the Go std lib in their own code...
