After some initial enthusiasm due to its gentle learning curve (actually, the Golang learning curve is nearly non-existent for an experienced programmer), I got sick of Go programming pretty quickly. Writing anything non-trivial will have you fighting against the limitations of the language (e.g., lack of generics which is particularly aggravating when trying to write a library).
I've mostly moved on to Clojure for programming backend services. I still use Go for the occasional small utility program due to its speed and ease of deployment, though.
