Literally the first non-trivial code I wrote in go (running a bunch of goroutines to download a ton of files from a website in parallel)... I knew exactly where and how things could fail and where things were failing just by looking at the code. Coming from C++ and C# and Python, there was no comparison. I had never been so confident in the code I'd written, even though I was a newbie at Go and a veteran of the other languages.
