Sure, I’ve used a variety of other languages (C#, Java, Swift, C, even Scheme etc) and like Go, and even chose it for a solo project.
To me it feels like C with some extra features, kind of like Objective-C. If you need to do some C-like things but can afford the small latency etc overhead introduced by Go, what Go provides (GC, large standard library, green threads, package management, etc) feels like absolute luxury compared to using C. C# is another GC language with the ability to go lower level, but the syntax can also be pretty verbose.
