Go has almost everything going for it. I only wish it was a bit more C-like and you had the ability to run it without a garbage collector, and that it was more suitable for systems and embedded programming.

Perhaps one day someone will come up with an implementation of Go that doesn’t use a GC.

It’s just such an incredible language, and it deserves the type of Rust fanaticism that Rust has, but I suspect Go users are just a different type of person and we really are fanatics, we just don’t publicize it.[1]
