That's what kept me from looking at the language for the last five years. I finally broke down and wrote my first Go program. Yeah, the errors (and lack of generics) are annoying, but it gets enough else right – tooling, runtime speed, compilation speed, type inference, parametric polymorphism (on interface types) – that I enjoyed it anyway. Every language has some annoyances; it's nice when there are only a few.
