If you are considering Go, or just want a good laugh, just read discussions where higher order functions are discussed. Or for that matter, generics.

Here is a gem: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/golang-nuts/RKymTuSC...

There's a chance you'll laugh at the people dismissing higher order functions as nonsense, in which case Go might not be for you. This is a good test of whether you want to try it out or not.
