Probably no. You still would be very disappointed. Go's take at writing and maintaining software often is pretty repugnant to people with a strong Java or JavaScript mindset. If missing user defined parametric polymorphism ("generics") was a reason to not even _try_ it you will be offended by by other things Go does in its particular way. Be it error handling, pattern matching, concurrency, mutability, etc. Basically if you try to write Java (or JavaScript) programs in Go you will suffer and hate Go. Same for C++/Rust aficionados. Go's newly added "generics" still come without "library support".
