I still get fascinated whenever I see praise of Go in some online article. I should give credit to Go(ogle) authors and hardcore fans for making an ugly mediocre language like Go become mainstream enough to set the norm for next-gen developers. The only pro of this language is that it's a very easy to learn compiled language. Nothing else. It's not until you deal with a large codebase that you understand how ugly, messy and daunting this language is to a depressing degree.
